    A few cases have been referred to Adden- brooke’s where further investigation and treatment were necessary. Total number of cases examined was 93. Orthopaedic Clinic R. Weeden Butler, M.A., M.Ch., M.D., F.R.CS. We would like to express again our sincere gratitude to Mr. Butler for attending once a month to see the orthopaedic patients. His diagnoses of cases and valuable advice regar¬ ding treatment are greatly appreciated. During the year 1947 the total number of patients seen was 275, of whom 163 were out¬ patients from the village, hostels and Industries and I 12 were bed-patients in the Hospitals. Fifty-six new patients were seen. Psychological Clinic H. Banister, M.Sc., Pb.D. Further patients—a somewhat smaller number than in recent years—have been treated during 1947 in sixty-one treatment sessions. The decrease in numbers is inter¬ esting in view of the increase in the number of individuals, both child and adult, in the general population who are now receiving psychological treatment as compared with the war and pre-war years. The increase in the psycho-neurosis gener¬ ally is to be expected both as the aftermath of the strain of the war years, and because of the difficulties of the present. It may be that these increases in strain are less marked at Papworth where, in some ways, life is easier than it is outside. The results of the year’s work are satis- actory on the whole.
