HOSPITAL REPORT FOR 1907.
To the Chairman and Councillors of the Willesden
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you the
Hospital Report for 1907.
The number of patients admitted was 760, a
falling off of 58, as compared with the previous year.
Notwithstanding, it was necessary to open the
hospital at Kingsbury in the autumn to accommodate
the overflow of patients from this hospital.
In 1906, although a greater number of cases
was admitted, that hospital remained closed. The
explanation of this is to be found in the fact that last
year the cases were admitted iu large numbers within
a short period, the result being that this hospital
was soon filled.
