Hospital Admissions and Institutional Care
Difficulty in securing accommodation for the chronic sick
continued but as excellent relations exist between the Department
and the local hospitals, patients were admitted with the minimum of
delay,
Every effort was made by the Old People's Welfare Services
to maintain old people in their homes as long as possible, with the
result that only 21 people were admitted to Homes during the year,
and in only one case was it necessary to take action under statutory
powers,
Outings
The clubs, as usual, held their annual outings to the sea,
and four additional outings were arranged, This enabled 135 persons
to enjoy a day in the country,
Additional trips were arranged by the British Red Cross Society
during the year and a number of persons were taken for outings to the
country,
