It will be noticed that there is a reduction in the number of in¬ patients during the past year. This is due to the order we received to evacuate as far as possible the patients from the wards at the outbreak of the war and to keep beds in readiness for emergencies. The patients in the wards were as follows :— Private Wards 1939 1938 General Wards 1939 1938 Men 64 64 Men 137 134 Women 95 117 Women .. 205 247 Children .. 8 20 Children .. 27 34 Total 167 201 Total 369 415 167 201 536 616 Service Cases • • • • • • • • 3 539 1939 1938 Surgical Cases .. • • • • • • • • • • 398 475 Medical ,, • • • • • • • • • • 141 141 539 616 No. of Operations ., .. .. .. 392 475
