"We are having a very great gold day and we feel very lucky with the weather," he said. Staff started going patients from St. Elizabeth Central and Home Hospital at 9 a.m. today.
About 80 patients call to be transported by ambulance from Home Hospital and from St. Elizabeth Central to St. Elizabeth East today. The rouse was scheduled to carry on until 5 p.m. today and then persist Friday.

Wilson said although there have been no principal problems with the hospital's operation, there have been a few boy glitches, including a drinking-water hole in tackle installed in the surgery department. He said the leaking was obstinate and the hospital is scheduled to whole its first surgery later today.
