Administrative History ↴
The Dublin Clinical Hospitals Standing Committee originated in a meeting at the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland in 1877 when ten Dublin hospitals (Adelaide Hospital, City of Dublin Hospital, Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital, Jervis Street Hospital, Mater Miscericordiae Hospital, Meath Hospital, Mercer's Hospital, the House of Industry Hospitals, Dr Steevens' Hospital and St. Vincent's Hospital) agreed to a standard fee for students and apprentices in hospitals. Following on from this original meeting a committee was formed in 1880 to agree united action on various topics including fees, the type of courses to be given and how hospitals could advertise. The committee membership expanded over time with the inclusion of the Rotunda Hospital and National Maternity Hospital. The Committee could only meet if the medical board of one of the ten constituent hospitals passed a resolution asking for a meeting to be called to discuss a specific issue. Once a resolution has been made by the Committee, the medical boards of the constituent hospitals had to adopt the resolution, which would only come into force if adopted by a majority of the medical boards. The Committee's business was managed by an appointed secretary. The first secretary was Christopher John Nixon and on his retirement in 1881 he was replaced by Richard Hayes who remained in the post until 1932. -
Archival History ↴
The correspondence, collected by Richard Hayes during his time as secretary, was given into the safe keeping of the Registrar of the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland in 1932, as the College already held the agreements signed by the Committee. At the same time the minute books of the Committee were also deposited with the College, when the collection was catalogued in February 2011 the minute books could not be found, it is possible that they are somewhere else in library or that they have been removed from College. -
