The Education Committee has an agreement with the
Hospital for payment for the removal of tonsils and adeniods and
the patients are kept in the Hospital for at least 1 night.
7223 out-patients were treated during the year, an increase
of 124, and the out-patient attendances were 31,610, an increase
of 2986 as compared with 1930.
The Hospital supplies a great need in the District, is greatly
appreciated and most of the beds are continuously occupied. Last
year the average number of beds in daily occupation was 53.07 and
from this figure it can be assumed that vacant beds are a rarity.
Fever.— Acton Council Fever Hospital— 88 beds.
