Queen Mary's Hospital, Stratford, has undertaken since the
1st January, 1921, to carry out operative treatment for enlarged
tonsils and adenoids at an inclusive charge for each Ilford child
under 5 years of age recommended for such treatment by the Medical
Officer of Health.
As mentioned in my report for the year 1928, arrangements
were made with the King George Hospital for the operative
treatment of enlarged tonsils and adenoids at an inclusive charge
for each Ilford child under 5 years of age recommended for such
treatment by the Medical Officer of Health.
The arrangements with the King George Hospital have been
discontinued since July.
During the past year, 70 children under 5 years of age have
been treated as follows:—
Out- Inpatients.
Patients.
Queen Mary's Hospital 37
King George Hospital 23 10
When possible the parents pay the necessary fee at the Public
Health Offices, but if the parents' income is below the scale approved
by the Ministry of Health, arrangements are made for treatment
free or at a reduced charge.
Two of these children were treated free during the past year
(1 at Queen Mary's Hospital and 1 at the King George Hospital).
