(i) Under the Authority's Scheme
in Clinic or Hospital

The average attendance per session is very
low on account of air raids.
(c) Ear, Nose and Throat Service. Owing to
the sad loss sustained by you in the death of
Mr. C.R. Sandiford, there was an interval in the
weekly Ear, Nose and Throat sessions held at Woodward
Clinic between the 9th August and the 2nd December, 1940
when Mr. Courtenay Mason took over as our Consultant
Specialist for diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat.
Actually as a result of this only forty sessions were
held during the year.
Most of the cases which received operative
treatment through the Corporation's scheme were dealt
with at Queen Mary's Hospital.

In December a consultation was held with
Mr. Courtenay Mason so as to elaborate final arrangements
for the admission of patients for tonsil operations
at the Barking Hospital. In spite of the
difficulties of war conditions and the shortage of
nursing staff, the Authority's original scheme
approved by the Board of Education was not amended
and thus it was arranged that the tonsils patients
be kept in Hospital from the afternoon of the day
before that of operation up till the third day
after operation.
