(2) In order that the register may be correctly maintained, it is necessary
to delete from the register all those who have died, or have been lost sight
of, or who have removed to other areas, or who are regarded as cured,
or those in whom the diagnosis was not confirmed, and to add to it new
cases, lost cases found again, cured cases who relapse, and transfers from
other areas. The number of transfers to Woolwich was 35, and the
number from Woolwich was 53. The following Table, No. 74, shows the
changes which took place in the register during the year. It will be
noted from this table that the total number on the register at the end of
the year was 975, and of this number 90.25 per cent. were on the dispensary
register. In 1934 the corresponding percentage was 91.75.
