QUEEN MARY'S HOSPITALSPECIAL
TREATMENT CENTRE
Report by Director, Dr. F. G. Macdonald, for the year 1946
The centre was opened on September 18th, 1944, the staff
consisting of the Director, a whole-time sister and a whole-time
orderly. The Director attends for 12 hours each week. This
is divided into six sessions of 2 hours each—3 male and 3
female. The centre is also open at certain times every day,
except Sunday, for patients requiring intermediate treatment.
A comparison with the corresponding figures for 1945 shows
a striking increase of new patients and total attendances.
