cases to the West Middlesex Hospital, while the Joint Hospitals'
Committee have their own motor ambulance for the removal
of infectious cases.
(c) Nursing in the Home.
No change has taken place in this service. The Brentford
and Chiswick Nursing Association still continues to function
and employs two Nurses for work in the district.
(d) Clinics and Treatment Centres.
A table shewing a complete list of Clinics and Treatment
Centres, giving particulars of establishment and control, will
be found appended.
(e) Hospitals—Public and. Voluntary.
The Borough is particularly fortunate in having two modern
hospitals within its boundaries—the Chiswick Hospital and the
Brentford Hospital—and both are largely used.
The West Middlesex Hospital, under the control of the
Middlesex County Council, deals with large numbers of patients
requiring General Hospital treatment and also with many
maternity cases unable to obtain accommodation in the
Maternity Hospital of the Joint Hospitals Committee.
By the courtesy of Dr. T. Orr, Medical Superintendent of
both Isolation and Maternity Hospitals, I am once again
privileged to include his report on the working and administration
of these hospitals.
