Recuperative Holidays
Patients are sent for recuperative holidays upon the
recommendation of their general practitioners or hospital consultants,
and during the year 38 recommendations were received, of which 30
came from general practitioners. 25 patients subsequently accepted
the arrangements made for their recuperative holidays but one
returned home before the expiry of the booked period.
FAMILY PLANNING

to the South-West London branch of the Family Planning Association,
and reimbursed payments on a per capita basis for cases advised and
treated on medical/social grounds, making the service free to such
persons.
