The conditions for which these were admitted can be ascertained by
reference to the "Booked" columns of the Numerical Summary
of Cases on page 149.
It is seen that the new cases have increased by 145 and the
total attendances by 1,734. This increase has caused a severe strain
on the accommodation available at Lodge Road, and overcrowding
has resulted. Extra sessions have not been possible to be arranged
owing to limitations of available staff and accommodation. It is
interesting to note that the number of births occurring in institutions
and previously attending the Clinic has risen, and the number
confined privately has also increased.
