Isolation Hospital Accommodation.
This district, with the Borough of Richmond (Surrey), maintains
two Isolation Hospitals:—
(1). Mogden Hospital for Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, Enteric
Fever, and, accommodation permitting, Puerperal Fever. It
has 61 beds, allowing 1,500 cubic feet of air space to each bed.
(2). Dockwell Hospital for Small-pox. It has 13 beds,
allowing 1,500 cubic feet of air space per bed.
No definite number of beds is assigned to either authority, but
on the basis of the amount of money spent by each in the upkeep of
the Hospitals, it may be said that there are 45 beds (37 at Mogden
and 8 at Dockwell) for Richmond, and 29 beds (24 at Mogden and 5
at Dockwell) for Heston and Isleworth.
Cases removed to Hospital.
During the year 230 of the 312 cases notified were removed to
Hospital. Of these 230, 21 were admitted to the Infirmary,
6 entered Metropolitan Asylums Board's Hospitals and 2 the
London Fever Hospital, leaving 201 chargeable to the District Rate
at Mogden Hospital.
