HOSPITAL TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN
UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE.
The arrangement with the Prince of Wales's General Hospital,
Tottenham, for children referred from the Welfare Centres for consultation
and treatment of Tonsils and Adenoids was continued during the

and the North Middlesex (County) Hospital for the treatment of such
cases.

referred by Dr. Alice King from the Welfare Centres to the Queen's
Hospital for Children and the Prince of Wales's Hospital, rhe parents
making their own arrangements with the hospitals for treatment.
