Most of the voluntary hospitals dated back to institutions founded in the Middle Ages by the Mon- astic Orders. They were ordin- arily charitable institutions for. the sick poor. They were founded and endowed by local citizens and the medical staffs were men who gave their services free for their less fortunate fellow-men who were sick. They were financed partly by voluntary contributions, partly by what patients could af- ford to pay, and partly by con- tributions from insurance schemes. They also received mu- nicipal grants for services ren- dered. MUNICIPAL HOSPITALS The municipal hospitals grew up in quite a different way. Their roots were in the poor law hos- pitals first established in the time of Queen Elizabeth I. They cared for those who were without money and without means. In 1930, the responsibility for admini stering these h tals was trans ferred from the Poor Law Boards of Guardians to county and ty borough councils.
