HOSPITAL TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN
UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE.
The arrangement with the Prince of Wales's General Hospital,
Tottenham, for children referred from the Welfare Centres for consultation
and treatment of Tonsils and Adenoids was continued during the

and the North Middlesex (County) Hospital for the treatment of such
cases.
