The following note by Dr. Saner upon the work of the year is of interest.
"The statistics for the year 1935 will be found in the tables in the form
required by the Ministry of Health.
"During the year 64 patients received Sanatorium treatment, 87 were sent
to general hospitals; 24 of these passed on to sanatorium. Eleven patients were
returned to hospital as failing to respond to treatment at the sanatorium. There
were 68 discharges from sanatorium and 27 from general hospital; these include
cases who go into hospital for short periods, improve and discharge themselves.
Seven patients passed through St. George's Home to sanatorium. St. George's
Home is being used as a sort of half-way house, to see whether or no a patient will
respond to treatment.
"Out of the 169 progress reports on patients who have had sanatorium treatment
through the London County Council 45 men, 47 women, and 20 children are
working or at school. Six are fit but have no work, 14 are unfit. Sixteen have
been transferred to other districts, fourteen lost sight of. Three declined to attend.
Three have to be reported as having died, and one is abroad.
"The Care Committee under the Honorary Secretaryship of Miss Broadbent
met fortnightly and 347 cases were brought to its notice. The various agencies in
St. Marylebone were used for any of these patients who were found to be necessitous
either in food, clothing, housing, work, or in need of attention to their teeth.
"Miss Bowen, M.B.E., dealt with the discharged soldiers and their families."
