Cheyne Hospital, West Wickham
I am grateful to Dr. R. J. Harris, Senior Paediatric Registrar,
Farnborough Hospital, for the following report:—
The school at Cheyne has continued to give the children as
full and interesting experience as possible. Young children have
been admitted to the nursery class as day pupils. I think this
could continue to be an increasingly valuable asset.
The number of admissions during 1971 were 24, with 16
discharges. Six of the admissions were children who had been
discharged and came back for holidays. Five of the children
stayed for a few weeks only to benefit from the intensive physiotherapy
offered. Six children arrived from Leybourne Grange
and have been fully integrated into the hospital.
