The revenue derived from the admission of patients from
outside areas since 1919 now exceeds £38,480.
Two hundred and ten cases were admitted to the Infectious
Diseases Hospital during 1937. As there were thirty-three
cases in hospital at the end of 1936, the total number of cases
under treatment during the year amounted to two hundred and
forty-three. One hundred and fifty-seven of these cases were
from Wimbledon, and eighty-five from Kingston. There were
thus forty-two fewer eases admitted to the Hospital in 1937
as compared with the previous year.
