Biographical / Historical

This was the first open day at the Addenbrooke's Hills Road site since 1973 (when Stage II of the complex was officially opened). In the meantime two NHS re-organisations had taken place - the first seeing the introduction of Area Health Authorities in 1974 - and the second seeing their demise in 1984 when District Health Authorities became statutory bodies. In the late 1980's following the Griffith Report, General Managers were appointed to Regional and District Health Authorities and later to large Hospitals
