(4). The Observation Ward.
Thirteen Harrow cases were treated during 1925, the
average stay being four weeks and a half.
Sixty-two children were admitted for one night
after tonsil and adenoid operations.
This Ward was closed from, April to September
owing to the difficulties in engaging staff.
The Observation Ward was opened in January,
1920, for ailing babies suffering from errors of nutrition
and for recovery after operation for circumcision, tonsils
and adenoids. During the past five years several cases
of pneumonia and bronchitis have been successfully
treated.
Dr. Mayne has acted as Hon. Consultant, and the
resident medical men have been able to attend their own
patients. It will be interesting to observe how far the
work carried on here will be covered by the newly established
wing for children at the Harrow Hospital.
