Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The introduction of the National Health Service in 1948 caused many and widespread changes in the management of London hospitals. The Northern Group Hospital Management Committee was set up to administer the Royal Northern and seven other hospitals, which now formed the Northern Group of Hospitals. These other hospitals were the Northaw House Children's Hospital, Highlands Hospital, Wood Green and Southgate Hospital, and the City of London Maternity Hospital. The Maternity Nursing Association was also affiliated to the group.
