Completer analyses of the records will be available in the future, as the
material has been carefully filed, and the full history, progress, condition of home,
with a record of every attendance of each patient is preserved in a card index
system.
Several of the Dispensary patients were admitted for a few weeks to the wards
of the Hospital. It will be a great advantage now that the Dispensary can claim
the reservation of a few beds in the Hospital for the use of Dispensary patients.
Many cases urgently require complete rest in bed for a limited period owing to a
febrile condition, and it is sometimes possible to draft patients to one of the
Sanatoria in connection with which the Hospital works, if such persons could be
passed through this channel.
I am,
Yours faithfully,
LYTTON MAITLAND,
M.D, (Lond.), D.P.H. (Gamb.).
