Orthopaedics in ScotlandSince the Scottish Orthopaedic Council was set up in 1942

it has distributed on behalf of the Lord Nuffield Fund for

Cripples over E24,000 to orthopaedic clinics, educationalestablishments for cripple children, and other aids to cripplesin Scotland. In addition the Nuffield trustees have madegrants of £26,500 for hospital developments at Philipshill,Busby, and Princess Margaret Rose Hospital in Edinburgh.The council has now agreed to dissolve since " orthopaedicservices were now firmly established in all five regions ofScotland, and therefore the work for which the Council hadbeen formed had been accomplished." As part of the windingup process the Nuffield trustees have agreed with the councilto allocate £15,000 for the erection of occupational therapyand workshop departments at the proposed spinal-injuriesunit at Edenhall, Musselburgh, and to make a grant of £2000towards the extension of the residential training establishmentfor severely handicapped girls at Anton House, BroughtyFerry.
