Occupational Therapy
Fourteen chest patients received domiciliary occupational
therapy from the occupational therapists based at 104 Westbury Road,
New Maiden, and of these, eight were attending the chest clinic.
Persons admitted to Tolworth Hospital with various chest complaints
are also eligible to receive occupational therapy treatment, but
this is usually terminated upon their discharge from hospital unless
the patient expressly desires it to continue.
