The Gibson's post-war and I imagine a lot of the knocked down stuff is too, but the site is pretty big. It feels implausible to me that it was just the Infirmary building and Outpatients, plus gardens and graveyard, until 1939 when it presumably got covered in pre-fabs.

Ah! University website says:

1924

William Morris (later to become Lord Nuffield) presents the Infirmary with £90,000, which ushers in a new era of expansion.

1929

The Observatory site is purchased, which allows the Infirmary to expand. Over the next ten years the Infirmary transforms from a competent county hospital to a world leader in medical research.

So additional wards seem plausible, though for the sake of fiction I would put both Saint-George and Harriet in the main building.
