No new posts have been made in the nursing staff but one sister is as far as possible stationed for a long period in the Operating Theatre as theatre sister.
This has proved a most happy arrangement and has conduced to the efficient conduct of the operative work.
Some little doubt was felt as to whether the extra accommodation allotted to women in the medical wards of C. Block would be fully utilised but time has shown that such fears were quite unfounded.
IN-PATIENTS :- The following list shows in-patients for the past ten years :-
1915 - 3085
1916 - 2969
1917 - 3292
1918 - 3677
1919 - 3926
1920 - 4071
1921 - 4815
1922 - 4417
1923 - 5455
1924 - 6106
This rate of progress is satisfactory but our present accommodation has almost reached its limit. In fact on many occasions during the year over-crowding was present.
It is I think probable that in 1925 the admissions will not increase as undoubtedly the heavy incidence of malaria among the police was abnormal and is unlikely to be so severe in coming years but the normal increase as opposed to the - one might say - accidental increase of this year is certain to continue and will at no distant date demand enlarged accommodation.
The daily average was 204.
The patients were divided as follows :-
1st Class .... 73 (75 in 1923)
2nd .... 303 (312 in 1923)
3rd .... 266 (266 in 1923)
Out-patients :-
... 5730 (5068 in 1923)
Morning Clinic, ... 27169 (28297 in 1923)
Afternoon University Clinics :-
Surgical, ... 2480
Medical, ... 1698
Total, ... 31347
Antirabic courses were administered to 36 patients as against 18 such treatments in 1923.
