Dr. J. Bell went on leave in September, and retired from the service on pension in December. I was appointed to succeed him as Superintendent and Dr. W. B. A. Moore took over my duties.
Sister Lee returned from leave.
The following Sisters left the service—Sisters Gourlay and Wilks, and Anderton and Parkinson—the former two on their marriage, the latter two on completion of engagement. During the year the Nursing Staff was increased by three Nursing Sisters. The vacancies and new appointments were filled by Sisters Astin, Bone, Benson, Lawrence, Kenny, Chettle and Craddock.
