Yes, you understood correctly Ray. It appears the Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund had several convalescent  homes including the ones in Malvern. They first opened St Anns Orchard, also Worcester Rd, for women. Followed by The Hugh Sumner Home - funded with a generous gift from Hugh Sumner - for children. St Cuthberts was an annex to it - although about 300 yards further down the road.

You can google for more info.

The children's home was sold in around 1965 and went on to become Summerfield School for the Deaf. It was not called Summerfield when it was part of Birmingham Hospital.

St Cuthberts was demolished and has a sheltered housing complex on it now. A few doors down, Malvern is finally getting a new hospital, 25 years after the land was purchased to build it upon  Roll Eyes
