This has been much used during the year. The work involved
at the mortuary is erratic and demands a constant readiness for the
reception and post-mortem examination of bodies. On many occasions
there has been more than one body—sometimes as many as five at one
time. The extension and refrigeration facilities provided in 1949 have
proved invaluable and have been the subject of favourable comment
by doctors and others using the mortuary. A small, but very
satisfactory improvement has been the "viewing lobby," in which
relatives can see a body without having to go into the post-mortem
room as heretofore.
