History

The hospital included an outpatient department which opened on 24 September 1875 and in the first year of opening 364 patients were seen with 2,271 attendances. There were initially only 2 inpatient beds but the number of these had increased to 8 by 1 July 1876, with reports of beds being almost completely filled thereafter for that first year with 33 admissions. All patients had to pay fees with the total revenue of £55 9s. 3d. from outpatients, £42 14s. 6d. from inpatients, making a total of £98 3s. 9d in 1875-1876. In that first year it was reported that there were no deaths. [1] Early references to the Castle Gate hospital named it simply as Nottingham Hospital for Women. [1]

The hospital's opening was met with some "local professional annoyance", with the BMJ noting that "so quietly was it managed, that, until an announcement appeared one morning in the Nottingham journals stating the fact that a new Hospital for Women had been opened the day before, scarcely a medical man in the neighbourhood had heard that it was likely to come into existence". [2]

By 1886, the year after the Samaritan Hospital for Women opened, the Annual Reports were referring to expenses exceeding income even though patients were reporting coming from as far as Leicester and Derby. The outpatient department had 697 patients with 3,975 attendances and 75 inpatients. [3]
