children, and 20s. a week when unoccupied.

80. Numbers Treated. The Council now maintains 7
beds. At present 5 are occupied by women, 1 by a man,
and 1 by a child. Since the provision of sanatorium treatment
by the London Insurance Committee there has been
less need to provide for insured men, who are now generally
referred to the Insurance Committee.
The 7 beds were kept occupied with very little intermission
throughout the year. The male applicants numbered
26 (45 in 1912), and the female 52 (31 in 1912). 33
patients were admitted, and 35 discharged. Of the 35
patients discharged, 10 were males over 14, 22 women,
and 3 children. 6 stayed for one month, 7 for two months,
17 for three, and 3 for four or five months; 1 died and 1
discharged herself. 31 returned home in improved general
health and with a decided increase in weight, and 29 showed
very great improvement and were able to resume their
ordinary duties.
81. The following table, recommended by the Local
Government Board, shows the condition in each subsequent
year of the survivors from the cases treated in each year
since patients were sent to Peppard. The difference between
the sum of the numbers dead and the survivors, and the
[number discharged, in any year, shows the cases lost sight of.
Number of patients discharged in each year who were
(a) alive but not well enough to work; (b) at work, seeking
work, or performing their ordinary duties, in January of
each of the undermentioned years:—
