Anyone here have any knowledge or success with searching for hospital rolls or records, if they exist?

I have an interest in the Voluntary Aid Detachment Hospital at West Harling Hall in Norfolk, along with the St Nicholas Street Hospital, the Cottage Hospital and Thetford Camp Hospital all in Thetford. The British Red Cross website suggests there are records in the Wellcome Library and National Archives, but I wondered if they contain anything useful or if it’s not worth the effort?
