further posts.
During 1914 the number of infectious cases admitted into
Hospital was 160. There have been no deaths. No deaths in 160
cases of infectious disease, some of which were very severe, speaks
well for the care and attention the patients get at the hospital.
The hospital is excellently managed by the Matron, who is able
to get the best results with the maximum of economy consistent
with efficiency, and the district is well served in having such a
competent and experienced Matron in charge of its hospital.
Probably 1914 is a record in that we have lost no cases of
infectious disease, excluding, of course, the Tuberculosis side.
