The majority of the children's cases are admitted to these
Sanatoria through the instrumentality of the local branch of the
Invalid Children's Aid Association. Co-operation with this
voluntary body is particularly welcome and works to the advantage
of all concerned. For their co-operation during the year we thank
them cordially.
Beds are not usually reserved at any of these institutions,
except at " Harts," for the exclusive use of patients from the
Borough, but little difficulty is experienced in obtaining admission
for recommended cases of non-pulmonary tuberculosis.
