Note: The restricted fund relates to the CCLA Nelson Salt Account. This was originally known as the Oncology Account and was used purely to benefit oncology and seriously ill patients. As the hospital no longer treats oncology patients it was agreed at the 2019 Annual General Meeting to rename it in honour of the two people responsible for setting it up, Dr Chris Nelson and Jill Salt, and to use it to help seriously ill patients.
