4. Venereal Diseases.
The County Council administers the Venereal Diseases
Regulations and participates in the London and Home Counties
scheme. Under this arrangement treatment is available at the
principal London Hospitals and at the St. Helier County
Hospital. The sessions are numerous and in some cases continuous,
whilst many of these institutions provide in-patient
as well as out-patient treatment.
HOSPITALS.
Smallpox. The Surrey County Isolation Hospital,
Clandon—accommodation 28 beds.
This hospital is organised on a care and maintenance basis
ready to be opened up at any time for the reception of cases
of Small Pox. There were no such cases during the year.
Infectious Disease. The Wandle Valley Hospital under a
Joint Hospital Board serves this area together with three other
neighbouring areas, Mitcbam, Beddington and Wallington and
Coulsdon and Purley. The hospital has accommodation for
196 patients, including cubicle isolation for 38.
During the year 129 patients from our district have been
treated in the hospital. Reference to Table VI shows in detail
the conditions for which admission was necessitated.
The staffing problems referred to in the previous year's
report have not eased in any way, and the standard of treatment
and care maintained in the face of all these difficulties
is a matter for congratulation to the hospital staff.
