Tne Mortnern General ana Royal Ha.;, lams hi r a Hospitals each have their

procedures common to both. Inis provides that the District hospital
Control point will i>e established at the Royal Ha 1 1 a ms h i r e Hospital
but that tne choice as to which hospital is to be the m i l iai
receiving hospital for casualties will be dependent upon a range of
factors, including the location of the accident, the number of
casualties involved and the nature of the incident. In view of the
proximity of the northern General to tne Sheffield Wednesday footaai
ground 1 had always assumed that any major accident at the ground

In coifiparision the hospital role is to ;Q^ok after the immediate

I went to make a check on this. There were eleven in tne temporary
mortuary, which was sited in the Orthopaedic Plaster Room, and there
was one further body in a cubicle next to the Hospital Control Room,,
I was concerned about the number of relatives and I was anx iouts to pa l
together as much information as possible about the casualties and the

____________ spent a long time collating all the i nfo nr-a t i on „ It proved
a very difficult exercise as a lot of the casualties had arrived at
the hospital with little or no identification,, iviany of the

that stage, whs n the cascade ha a been i mpl erne nt e d , or the extent of
