![(b) GENERAL HEALTH. The following table shows an almost uninterrupted increase in the work done in hospitals and out-patient centres in the past ten years. It is probable that this increase is partly due to expansion of medical facilities, but more to a growing public readiness to seek medical aid and that it does not represent an increase in the incidence of sickness. Estimates of population are not sufficiently precise to make it possible to relate increase of modical work to growth of population served.
