the beds maintained at St. Columba's Hospital by this voluntary
fund have been of the greatest service. All patients treated in
this home have been very grateful for the care and attention
given to them. During the year 17 patients were nursed there
for varying periods at a total cost of £294 12s.
Of these 17 patients admitted to St. Columba's Hospital,
eight died, five were transferred to other institutions in an improved
condition, two returned home, while two were still in
Hospital at the end of the year.
By means of the same voluntary fund nine patients were
given treatment at the Hahnemann Home, Bournemouth, and
other Convalescent Homes. The average period of convalescent
treatment granted was 11 weeks.
