# REPORT ON THE RADIOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT.
Staff:-Dr. E. To was in charge till June 24th when Dr. C. W. McKenny returned to the Colony.
Dr. C. W. McKenny was nominally in charge from that date but as his time was for the most part occupied by other duties the major part of the work was performed by Dr. To till October 15th.
Equipment:-This consists of two plants one of which can be used in the wards.
They have given satisfactory service but the new equipment which it is hoped will be installed early in 1927, will give more rapid and accurate results in radiography and will be suitable for treatment by X-ray radiation.
## TYPE AND AMOUNT OF WORK PERFORMED.
All forms of radiographic examination have been made, including visualisations of the deeper organs by modern methods.
It is unfortunately impossible to give exact figures for the first five months of the year but from June 1st to the end of the year 614 patients were examined, giving an average of 87.7 per month and 878 radiograms were taken giving an average of 125.4 films per month. This figure does not include films used for dental examination. The average number of films used per patient was 1.4.
Fees received:-A flat rate of $15 per examination was made in the case of non-hospital patients reasonably able to pay a fee. A sliding scale will be introduced in 1927.
The total sum received during the seven months under consideration was $562, (i.e., average $80 per mensem).
It may be of interest to mention that the average monthly number of patients for the first two months of 1927 was 104 and the fees received averaged $242.
## VICTORIA HOSPITAL FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Dr. W. B. A. Moore was the Officer in charge during the year.
Admissions numbered 257, making a total of 267 patients treated as compared with 312 and 319 respectively in 1925, the reduction in the number of Military cases admitted being mainly responsible for the lower figures this year. Of the patients treated, 136 were Government servants, 48 Naval or Military, and 83 others.
