47. Table 14 gives an analysis of the cases treated in Government and Government assisted hospitals, and the total deaths in the Colony.
48. It will be seen from the figures quoted that there has again been a marked increase in the number of persona treat-
ed. As the estimated population of the Colony in 1951 has de- creased by about 252,000 from that of 1950, and there have been no large outbreaks of infectious disease, consequently it is clear that an increasing proportion of the population is attending Government or Government assisted institutions for the treat- ment of their common ailments.
