Innes). There is not much to note as regards this Speciality last year. The waiting time for removal of tonsils and adenoids was about the same as the previous year. This is probably because a balance has been reached between the cases placed on the waiting list and those admitted to hospital. Those cases which merited early admission were given priority. The question of priority admission always brings the risk of com- plaints from the parents of the other children, who do not understand why the priority cases were admitted early. Happily there has been little trouble as regards this so far. It is gratifying to see the waiting list in the Dukinfield, Hyde and Stalybridge areas being reduced. I think that the rather uneconomic method of admitting these children to Macclesfield has been well worth while as many of them urgently required treatment. The number of cases of ear infection, both acute and chronic, was about the same as the previous year but there was an increase in the number of cases of partial deafness seen. I think the reason for this is that the teachers now report cases which they suspect to be deaf sooner than they used to do. There is nothing to report in the other aspects of the Speciality.
