Special Clinic.—The work at the special clinic for giving
instruction in birth control has continued during the year, 69
new cases being dealt with. The scope of the clinic is strictly limited
as only mothers in whom pregnancy would be detrimental to health
are dealt with, and all patients must be referred by a medical
officer at one of the Council's Health Centres. The total number
of consultations with the medical officer at the Special Clinic was 129.
HOSPITALS.
1. Isolation Hospital.—Accommodation for the treatment of
cases of infectious disease is provided at the Chiswick and Ealing
Isolation Hospital. For some years difficulty has been experienced
in coping with the demand for admission and proposals to extend
the hospital have been under consideration, with the result that
the extension of the hospital at a cost of £30,497 is now being
proceeded with. The extensions comprise alterations and additions
to the Administrative Block and Nurses' Home ; the erection of
a new Block of 22 beds for cases of diphtheria, and a Cubicle Block
of 12 separate single-bedded wards in which cases suffering from
different diseases may be isolated yet nursed by the same staff.
