	Richard Whittington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Whittington (c1358 — 1423), medieval merchant and politician, was the real-life inspiration for the pantomime character, Dick Whittington.
		The deposition of Richard II in 1399 did not affect Whittington because he was elected mayor again in 1406 and in 1419, becoming a living legend in the process.
		The Whittington hospital (at Archway, London Borough of Islington), is named after him, and a small statue of a cat along Highgate Hill further commemorates his legendary cat.

		One illustration of the complexity of the problems facing the hospital is the discovery by staff of a high level of female genital mutilation among patients.

		With such an extensive operation as the Whittington's 30 buildings and the extra complications of imminent refurbishment and rebuilding it is a matter of maximising resources and, should an ARCHIBUS/FM analysis turn out that way, of maybe spending budget on re-organising existing space instead of new building.
