Building on the Millbrook Estate was completed in 1934 and a new convalescent hospital was ready to be occupied.
Millbrook Rise Hospital shared some staff and medical experience but the main connection was for the administration of the hospital. It remained mostly separate, even having it’s own Act of Parliament. Extra buildings (wings) were added during the second world war as the work increased.

The first Staff were, Matron (Miss Kendrick), two Nurses, Housemaid a Cook and two Attendants. Sir John Gellibrand headed up the Veterans Trust which set up the hospital and also became the Trust’s representative on the Advisory Committee for many years.
