Notes

The Physician and Surgeon at Chelsea Hospital both advised Soane that accommodation for 80 patients would be necessary in the proposed Infirmary. Soane suggested that this would not be possible given the constraints imposed by the necessary re-use of Yarborough House (in his report, given to the Board of Commissioners on 13 April 1809.

This drawing and SM volume 76/30 show the floor plan of a ward, presumably one of those at the southern-most end of the projecting wings.
