vi. Hospitals.
The Medical Officer of Health is asked to report under this heading on the
hospitals belonging to the local authority and hospitals with which the local authority
have made arrangements for the admission of patients. There are no hospitals
belonging to this local authority, but arrangements for the admission of patients
have been made with two local hospitals:—
(a) War Memorial Hospital.
(b) British Hospital for Mothers and Babies.
The Council's arrangements with these hospitals were fully reported on in the
Annual Report for 1930, but it may be convenient to refer to them briefly here :
At the War Memorial Hospital the Council reserve twelve beds for children
under five years, and sufficient accommodation as may be necessary for 66 maternity
cases per annum. In addition the hospital authorities are under contract to provide
emergency treatment as occasion arises for such cases of midwifery as require it.
