Dealing with the hospital statistics the chairman stated that 1040 patients were admitted to the institution during the year, compared with 1092 in 1932-33.

The income for the year v*as £20,170 9s sd, the chief items being; Patients’ fees £5578 13s 9d, maintenance levies £7401 2s 4d and subsidies £5762 2s. The expenditure was £19,250 16s 2d, of which general maintenance accounted for £13,479 10s. The medical superintendent (Dr A. J. Mason) reported that 72 patients had been admitted during the month and 87 had been discharged. There were 60 patients in the institution at the end of the month.
