History	When the National Health service was established in 1948 hospital services in Derbyshire came under the auspices of the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board. This Board covered the administrative counties of West Yorkshire, Derby (except that part included in the Manchester Regional Hospital Area), Leicester, parts of Lincoln, Nottingham and Rutland. Below the Regional Hospital Board there were Hospital Management Committees. In Derbyshire there were initially five, viz: - Chesterfield Hospital Management Committee - Derby No. 1 Hospital Management Committee - Derby No. 2 Hospital Management Committee - Derby No. 3 Hospital Management Committee - Derby No. 4 Hospital Management Committee Derby No. 2 Hospital Management Committee was responsible for the following hospitals: - Ripley & District Cottage - Victoria Memorial Cottage - Whitworth, Darley Dale - Babington, Belper Smedley Memorial - Parwich - Wirksworth Maternity - Ridgeway - Draycott - Derwent This group was disbanded in 1966 and all the hospitals (except Victoria Memorial Cottage, Whitworth, Smedley Memorial and Ridgeway) were transferred to the No 1 Committee. The remaining four hospitals were transferred to the Chesterfield Committee. In 1974 with the Reorganisation of the Health Service Act all Hospital Management Committees were disbanded, and hospital services in the county were coordinated by the Derbyshire Area Health Authority, divided into three districts.
