Hammersmith Chest Clinic-1968
The total of routine work of the Clinic rose slightly in 1968 with
25,098 attendances (891 new cases),. It was thus with great satisfaction
that the staff received the news that an extension of premises was planned
for early 1969: a long-felt and overdue necessity which should greatly relieve pressure on both patients and staff.
