Other information
The Letchworth and Hitchin Isolation Hospital (which became the Rosehill Hospital in 1948) was opened in 1915 by the Hitchin Joint Hospital Board, which consisted of representatives of Hitchin Urban District Council, Hitchin Rural District Council, and, from 1919, representatives of Letchworth Urban District Council. In 1932 the Board became known as the North Hertfordshire Joint Hospital Board. The hospital was situated in Hitchin Road, Letchworth. The Hospital had two daughter institutions attached to it, namely South Lodge, Baldock, which was opened in 1940, to deal with scarlet fever cases, and Langley Smallpox Hospital, which was opened in 1902. In 1948, when the National Health Service was created, control of the hospital passed to the Luton and Hitchin Hospital Management Committee, which was a part of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board.
