were available the Nursing Staff were accommodated
in various parts of the Administration Block itself,
and in the house at Bruce Road, an arrangement
which had many disadvantages.
Coming next to the ward blocks, which are
situated for the most part to the east and south side
of the Administration Block, accommodation is here
provided for some 122 patients, thus:—
In " B " Block there are 10 beds for Enteric Fever.
In " C " Block there are 16 beds for Diphtheria.
In " D " Block there are 28 beds for Diphtheria.
In " E " Block there are 16 beds for Scarlet Fever.
In " F " & " G " Block there are 40 beds for Scarlet Fever.
In "H" & "H," Block there are 12 beds for Observation
Purposes.
Assuming that there is no epidemic increase in
the number of cases requiring admission, these 122
beds should prove equal to the demands of the
district, should they not do so there will still
remain at least 12 beds in one of the iron buildings
beforementioned, us well as 32 beds in the hospital at
Kingsbury.
