N.B.—The great reduction in the number of cases admitted at the Eastern
Hospital in the fortnight ending June 20th, and subsequently, was due to the
fact that at and after that date cases were sent direct to the Hospital Ships
from their own homes. The majority of such cases were sent from the districts
which previously had been the feeders of the Eastern Hospital.
