for Sanatorium treatment. Accommodation was provided at the Young Women's Christian
Association for a patient who was discharged from Sanatorium and had 110 home, until she
was able to find other suitable accommodation. Insurance stamps were provided in two cases
of arrears, to enable the patients to obtain their National Health Insurance benefit and the
first week's rent which had to be paid in advance in cases of re-housing was provided 111 two
cases. Pocket money was sent to eight patients while they were away in Sanatorium.
Twenty-five names were submitted to the St. Pancras Needy Fund at Christmas, at the
request of the Secretary, and generous gifts were received in all cases. In co-operation
with the Charity Organisation Society one patient was set up in business again, after his
discharge from Sanatorium.
