All cases from the opening of the Clinic in 1927, have been
followed up, and so far no case diagnosed as non-malignant has
shown any cause whereby the first opinion should be altered.
HOSPITALS.
As the facilities for obtaining hospital treatment have been
discussed in previous Reports I need only mention that during the
year additional provision has been made at the St. Alfege's Hospital.
A new Out-Patient Department has been erected for the treatment
of tuberculosis and for ante-natal purposes.
BOROUGH MATERNITY HOME.
During the year negotiations were completed for the purchase
of No. 80, Shooters Hill Road, adjoining the Council's Maternity
Home. The work of adapting the premises is well in hand and when
completed will provide on the ground floor two isolation wards for
patients and on the upper floors improved sleeping accommodation
for the domestic staff.
