Secretary of the local branch, has kindlycontributed the following
report:-
"The number of applications for convalescence is a decrease on
the previous year, and in days of rationing it is pleasing to note
that cases indicating malnutrition are so few.
"The difficulty of placing children continues, due to war time
staff depletion, which has affected the available accommodation, and
unfortunately quite often children still have to wait two months for
a bed.
