 Poor Law Infirmaries
Guardians were sometimes oblivious of the state of affairs in their workhouses and would find to their surprise that the visiting committee they had appointed had never in fact visited and that reports from their medical officer had been ignored.
Each infirmary might be reconstructed or remodeled, but this policy would throw an impossible burden on the poorer parishes where the demand was greatest and where it was most difficult to raise the poor rate.
They were to suggest the immediate improvements required in the workhouses and in their medical and nursing attendance, and also the longer term and more extensive alterations required to ensure, permanently, the proper care and treatment of the sick poor.

 Destitute Sick
In France, the medical patients of our workhouses would be found in 'hopitaux'; the infirm aged poor would be in 'hospices'; and the blind, the idiot, the lunatic, the bastard child and the vagrant would similarly be placed in an appropriate but separate establishment.
Sometimes one practitioner combined the duties of workhouse and district medical officer, as was the case in sixteen of the forty London unions.
The position of the workhouse medical officer was rendered even more untenable by the fact that he was subordinate in status to the lay workhouse master, who was usually of a lower social class.

On entering a workhouse, the pauper was stripped, bathed and issued with a uniform, typically of hardwearing cloth, the form and style branding its wearer as an inmate.
There were examples of corrupt workhouse masters who treated inmates with cruelty, but even under a benign regime, the workhouse was a place of great sadness where the sick, the old and the poor, having lost all their material goods, also lost their dignity.
A surprising number of our ancestors spent their last days in the workhouse, not because they were paupers or long-term inmates but because the workhouse infirmary was often the only place available once they could no longer be cared for at home.

 Workhouses - History of London - Imperial-London.me.uk
Workhouses are no longer of the kind described by Dickens, where Oliver Twist's request for "more" was received with such righteous indignation by Bumble.
The time has not arrived for such places to be strictly reserved for the sick and aged, leaving children, imbeciles and epileptics, vagrants and tramps to be dealt with in separate and suitable institutions; but they have vastly improved of late years, the inmates occasionally being treated with, perhaps, even a superabundance of consideration.
Throughout the winter the inmates of workhouses are treated to entertainments, concerts, magic-lantern lectures, etc., which help to break the dull monotony of their lives; and they also have the privilege, all the year round, of an occasional Sunday out.

My experience leads me to believe that nine-tenths of workhouse inmates under 50 have drifted into chargeability owing to mental or physical flabbiness (often congenital) of which a complete and lasting cure is, in the great majority of cases, impossible.
