Western Fever Hospital : afterwards returning to St.
George's for the operation, and was still absent at the
end of the year. During this period, Miss K. Davey,
B.A. was appointed part-time clerk.
Renovations and Re-decorations.
A complete scheme of renovations and re-decorations
was carried out at the Dispensary during 1931 and 1932;
the greater bulk of the work being done in the year under
review. This work took about three weeks to complete
during October : however, by making suitable arrangements
with the builders, it was not found necessary to
close the Dispensary at all, and thus (although the Dispensary
Staff had to work under a certain amount of
difficulty), there was practically no break in the routine.
The Dispensary Time-table:—
Monday 10 to 11.30 a.m. Women and young
children.
1.45 to 3.0 p.m. School children.
Tuesday 10 to 11.30 a.m. Men, old and new
cases.
6 to 7.30 p.m. Men and women
workers.
Wednesday 10 to 11.30 a.m. Women, old and new-
cases.
Thursday 1.45 to 3.0 p.m. Children, contacts and
new cases.
Special appointments are also made for new cases,
who cannot for some reason or other come up on their
proper session times, to be seen at other hours, (chiefly on
Friday or Saturday) by arrangement with their doctors.
The Tuberculosis Officer sees these patients either at
home in consultation or at the Dispensary.
Ear, nose and throat cases, which involve special
examination are usually seen on Friday or Saturday
mornings, as the preparation required is occasionally
lengthy and tends to delay other cases during an ordinary
session.
