Since November 1972 the Royal Naval Hospital, Plymouth, has provided the area health authority with facilities for a plastic surgery unit used by both Service and National Health Service patients. Since 31st March 1975, when the Service requirement for it ceased, the RAF Hospital at Cosford—97 beds—has been maintained to meet the demands of the National Health Service, which meets the full cost.
