REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
GOVERNMENT CIVIL HOSPITAL.
Staff.
Several changes have occurred in the Staff during the past year.
Dr. E. A. R. LAING, Assistant Superindendent, left the service in July and was succeeded in the Hospital by Dr. W. KoсH, who took up the duties of Assistant Superintendent in October, the Superintendent being in sole charge during the interval.
Sister STOLLARD left on home leave in April and Sister GORHAM returned from England in October. Sisters FRANKLIN and DEWAR resigned the service and were succeeded by Sister BARROW and RICHARDS in April and December.
The Matron, Miss BARKER, proceeded to Japan on two months' vacation leave in August.
Probationer Nurses GEARY, ROBERTS and PAGE resigned and Nurse POOLE joined during the year, the other two vacancies being still unfilled.
Mr. FRANKLIN, Apothecary and Assistant Analyst, was granted short leave. Wardmaster CoOMBS was transferred to the Sanitary Department and was succeeded by Wardmaster EGERTON in June.
Buildings.
Besides the usual minor repairs the whole of A Block was overhauled in the early part of the year, the wards heing painted and colour-washed and the lavatories, in part, tiled. This neccssitated closing the upper floor for some time. The cleansing stopped short of the exterior of the building which, I believe, is to be done this year. B Block was painted in 1904.
General Statistics.
The total number of admissions was 2.704 as against 2,585 last year; the in- crease would have been more but for the fact that owing to repairs it was necessary to close two general and two private wards for some time.
The total number of out-patients was 14,976 as against 13,706.
Attached are the following tables :—
