Maternity.—The arrangements made with the North Middlesex

maternity cases attending the Maternity and Child Welfare
Centres at charges of 6/- and 10/- a day respectively continue in
operation. Twenty-eight cases were admitted to Hospital under
these arrangements during the year.
Infections Disease.—Cases of infectious disease are sent to
the Isolation Hospital, Coppett's Road, Muswell Hill, N.10, which
is controlled by a Joint Hospital Committee for the districts of
Hornsey, Finchley and Wood Green.
Small-pox.—The County Council of Middlesex have undertaken
the responsibility of the isolation and treatment of small-pox
for the whole of the County, and have entered into an arrangement
with the Metropolitan Asylums Board for the reception of
patients into their hospitals, at an annual cost of £5,000, to merge
in the actual cost of patients treated during the year. The
arrangement for treatment of Hornsey cases of small-pox in the
Uxbridge Joint Small-pox Hospital at Yeading, Middlesex, has
therefore been determined. Fortunately no case occurred in
Hornsey during 1928.
