Sanatorium Treatment.—The opening of Annexe A at the Victoria Hospital in August, 1943, has materially helped in reducing our waiting list of tubercular patients requiring Sanatorium treatment.

Other Sanatorium treatment continues as previously, and every opportunit} of getting beds in Sanatoria administered by other Authorities is taken. The following table shows the admission and discharge of patients from the various Sanatoria during the year.
