1. In considering the Pavilion Plan to be in future received as the sanitary necessity for Hospital construction, we must look upon it as susceptible of many modifications.

And, particularly in adapting it for a Military Hospital, we must ask by what modification can it be made, 1. Most economical as to attendance, a greater amount of which is rendered necessary than by other plans of construction.

2. Easy as to supervision; and, of course, a Hospital spread over the extent of space now proved to be essential by sanitary knowledge, whether built on the Pavilion plan or not, must multiply the amount of supervision over that required in the concentrated over-crowding of the old Hospital system (over-crowding not with regard to cubic space in the wards, but to the superficial area on the ground).

3. Economical as to the number of sick to be accommodated on the same floor, so as to save unnecessary waste of time and strength on the stairs to both Ward-Masters and Nurses. Each Nurse should have, in time of peace, not less than from 50–60 patients under her charge.

4. Efficient as to convenient accommodation for Nurses and Ward-Masters, near to the wards of which they are in charge.
