![Report of the Monthly Board. The Twenty-second Annual Report and Statement of Accounts is presented herewith. The number of Patients for the past four years with the relative cost and other details and comparisons is as follows : Year. No. of Patients. Total Cost.

It will be seen from the Maintenance Fund Accounts for the year 1926, printed below, that at the end of the year the balance in hand apart from the Special Colby Fund amounted to a little more than £12 against a credit balance at the opening of the Account of over £90. In 1926, however, the contribution paid to the Treasurer by the Workpeople’s Hospital Committee was £150 only, against <£300 in 1925. The other sources of income were well maintained and the item of fees from patients showed an increase of more than £100, whilst expenditure remained practically the same as in 1925. In view of the continued efforts of the area served by the Hospital on behalf of the Building Fund during the period, the result cannot be considered unsatisfactory. At the same time the Board would again call attention to the certainty of increased expenditure in maintaining the new Hospital of 26 beds, which is to be opened in May, 1927. It is impossible to give an accurate estimate of what such expenditure will be, but the Board ask for an annual income of £2,000 to start with.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31697185_0008.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
