Since that date there have been 82 candidates
for Sanatorium treatment. Of this number 22
withdrew for various reasons before they were
medically examined. The majority of these last
were at work, and feared that during their absence
at the Sanatorium their families would be in need,
and further that they would not be reinstated at
their place of employment upon return. A smaller
number were admitted to the Infirmary, and the
remainder removed from the Borough or died.
The remaining 60 patients were all examined
by me, and were disposed of as follows:—
Approved for treatment 42
Rejected 18
The 42 patients approved were again divided
as follows:—

December, 1912) 33
Awaiting interview with the

Refused to go to Fairlight,
mainly owing to necessary
dental treatment required,
and for domestic and business
reasons 8
To the end of November, 1912, the total cost

£17 l1s. 2d. per head admitted to Fairlight
Sanatorium.
