    INTRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS OP THE YEAR Rehabilitation works on the Children's Ward, Casualty Department and Porters Lodge (the K.G,VI Wing of the Hospital) were comploted towards the end of the year under review. Works consisted of re-roofing, rehabilitation and internal redecoration and major repairs to the plumbing and electrical services. The results of these works have improved the services provided as well as enhancing the appearance of the Wing. Work on the conversion of the Sisters Quarters, sited at St Bernard's Hospital, into flats and bed-sitters commenced in 19/8 and completion of the project is expected to take place towards the end of 1979. This will provide excellent modem accommodation for those members of the Medical and Nursing Staff whom wo still need to recruit from abroad.

Thin relationship has been improving over the years and we hope this will.continue into the future.
