Post First World War:- After the war in 1919 the hospital was taken over by the Metropolitan Asylums Board – at this point it held up to 160 patients. In June 1940 it was agreed that Pinewood would be used for treatment of New Zealand service sick. A hutted hospital was built 300 yards to the west of the original hospital buildings (centered around SU 8391 6600), and it became known as 1 NZ General Hospital. After the Second World War in 1948 it was run by the Northwest Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board after becoming part of the NHS. The hospital closed in 1966, the last patient having been discharged on 21st of January.
