WOMEN'S CLINIC
During 1951 the financial responsibility for patients seen at the
Women's Clinic was held to be that of the Local Health Authority
and appropriate adjustments were made with the Hospital Management
Committee back to the appointed day. Fortunately, no change
in the general arrangement was necessary.
The patients attending the Clinic were reviewed at the end
of the year and those who were not strictly eligible to receive
treatment on medical grounds were referred elsewhere. As a
result, the numbers attending the Clinic became reduced and the
sessions were reduced accordingly during 1952.
