There were 106 admissions to Homes during 1962 eompared with o5 in the })revious year, and correspondingly the number of dis- (‘harges inereased to 92 eompared with 55 in the previous year. This relleets the greater infirmity of residents on acimission. The figures of admissions and discharges include 12 eases who were ad- mitted for temporary eare. It is hoped that this service will grow in the future. Whilst the opening of Lawnwood House completes the Com- mittee's present ])rogramme of new Homes, it cannot be assumed tliat furtlier ])laces are not needed. In the })lans for developing the service over the next ten years provision was made for an increase from 128 to 169 beds by 1970/1, assuming that there would be no inerease to the size of the Borough.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b29171271_0038.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
