The Education Committee has an agreement with the Hospital
for payment for the removal of tonsils and adenoids and the patients
are kept in the Hospital for at least 1 night.
7,218 out-patients were treated during the year, a decrease
of 5, and the out-patient attendances were 31,442, a decrease of
168 as compared with 1931.
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 56.26 and
from this figure it can be assumed that vacant beds are a rarity.
Fever.—Acton Council Fever Hospital normally contains
88 beds, but during the year this number was increased to 122 in
order to cope with the epidemics of Scarlet Fever and Diphtheria.
Small-Pox.—Acton was one of the constituent bodies which
formed the Middlesex Joint Small-Pox Board. Under the Provisional
Order Confirmation Act of 1929, the Joint Board was
dissolved from the 1st April, 1929, and the duties of the Board
transferred to the Middlesex County Council.
Tubericulosis.—The Tuberculosis scheme is administered
by the Middlesex County Council which has sanatoria at Clare Hall
and Harefield.
