Currently great series of articles on the role of charity in healthcare on the Polyphony. In relation to @agnesjuliet.bsky.social piece on relationship of Royals to the Great Ormond, here is Queen Elizabeth and Sir Billy Butlin (in the back) inspecting a CT scanner Butlin donated to Ormond in 1977.
