I have the honour to report that as I am
given to understand it is intended shortly to open the Naval
Hospital for Infectious Diseases at Morrison hill, 1 consider
it advisable that the attention of the Naval Authorities should
be drawn to a recent order issued by the Local Government Board
at home concerning the establishment of Small Fox Hospitals.
"The Frovision of Isolation hospital Accon-
modation by Local Authorities" has, with a view to lessening the
risk of infection from smali-pox hospitals, laid down the rule
that a local authority should not contemplate the erection of a
small pox hospital - first, on any site where it would have with-
in a quarter of a mile of it as a centre either a hospital,
whether for infectious diseases or not, or a work-house, or any
similar establishment, or a population of 150 to 200 persons;
and secondly, on any site where it would have within half a mile of it as a centre a population of 500 to 600 persons, whether in
one or more institutions, or in dwelling-houses. Cases in which
there is any considerable cellection of inhabitants just beyond
the half-mile zone should, says the circular, "always call for
special consideration".
In view of this, I would recommend that
this hospital be not utilised for the reception and treatment of small-pox cases as there are within quarter of a mile of it
