HOSPITAL REPORT for 1909.
To the Chairman and Members of the Willesden
Urban District Council.
Gentlemen,
I have the honour to submit to you the
Hospital Report for 1909.
The number of patients admitted during the
year was 775, or 79 less than in the previous year.
I11 January, it will be within your recollection,
owing to the lack of accommodation, a number of
patients had to be transferred to the Mary Wardell
Convalescent Hospital at Stanmore ; it was not,
however, necessary to send more than one batch,
the diminished number of admissions later on in the
year not being beyond the capacity of your own
Hospitals.
The Kingsbury Hospital during the year remained
open for a longer period than has been the case for
many years, and it was not until May 17th that it
was finally closed down. In the past it has been
customary to re-open this hospital each autumn
