    Nursing Services There has been no change in these' services during the year. The number of midwives remained at five, and all domiciliary general nursing is almost essentially done by Sisters of the Religious Order of Bon Secours. A small number of nurses who obtained their finial registration certificate during the year have' been absorbed by the Hospital. The appointment of a district nurse has now been approv¬ ed by the Government and at the time of writing this report, measures are being taken to secure the services of a state registered nurse to fill the post. This appointment will fill a long felt want and will contribute to relieve the pressure on a rather depleted general practitioner service, the hospi¬ tal out-patient department, as well as help to foster the domi¬ ciliary care of the aged and infirm.
