STAFF.
In order to efficiently perform the work of medical inspection under
the Aliens Act, 1905, it was necessary to appoint an additional Medical
Officer, and Dr. A. H. Hogarth was accordingly temporarily appointed as an
Assistant Medical Officer for duty at Gravesend.
At Sheerness, the work of medical inspection still continues to be carried
out in a satisfactory manner by Dr. E. V. Legge.
Office Staff and Inspectors,—There are no changes to report in
connection with this section of the Staff.
Steam Launches and Hulks.—The only change amongst these crews is
that one of the deck boys resigned his position in order to farther develop his
qualifications as a waterman, and another boy has been engaged in his place.
Denton Hospital.—There were, at the end of the year, two vacancies in
the Staff of the Hospital. The Assistant Nurse, Miss Isabel Deehan, who
had held the appointment since July, 1904, having left to take a more
important appointment elsewhere, and one of the N urse Probationers,
Miss I. Walker, appointed in 1905, also resigned.
The maidservant, E. Batchelor, resigned in September, and was replaced
by Esther Robinson.
