in the hospital. Tlie provision of facilities to accommodate a Ilealth and Care Centre for the local area is an
addilional beiiefit. These benefits are evidenced through the continued existence of a busy hospital with higli
occupancy rates and a reputalion for excellenl care. The beneficiai-ies are any member of the public primarily in
