Of the 12 cases where the maximum points, 20, were
given on medical grounds, 11 were on account of active tuberculosis
and one on account of Parkinson's disease.
On account of the extreme shortage of housing
accommodation it is regretted that of these urgent cases only
2 were successful in being rehoused during the year. A
further 8 cases where maximum points had been awarded in
previous years were also rehoused (three cases had been
"pointed" in 1955, four in 1954 and one in 1953).
