Two cases of diphtheria were received into the Ealing Isolation
Hospital early in the year, as we were short of accommodation owing
to alterations, and one case of supposed small pox was sent to the
Small Pox Hospital at South Mymms.
The work at the Hospital has not this year been as heavy
as during the last two years. In 1906, 163 cases were admitted,
but many of the cases were very severe, and required skilful
and constant nursing. I am happy to say that the Matron and her
staff have been unceasing in their devotion, and the nursing has left
nothing to be desired, and the popularity of the Hospital is ever
on the increase. Nurse Collins, who rendered valuable service
during a time of considerable anxiety, has resigned during the year
to get married. The Porter has carried out all his duties excellently,
and the grounds are a model of tidiness.
