S As this 3’ear onl}' an ordinar}’ report is required b}’ the Ministrj^ff of Health, the statistics and other health matters are given in more® or less summarv form. 8: The general statistics show a slight improi’cinent on last \Tar,»i the chief adverse factor being a rather serious outbreak of Diph-» theria in the latter part of the year. This caused a great increasej of work at the Isolation l!()spital and in the Laborator\-, in which- the number of sjiecimcns e.xamined was nidre than doubled. i .\ltention is drawn to the inadequate aeconnnodalion at the Isolation Hosiiital and the Infant Welfare Centre.
