![All the Deaths were from natural causes, and no inquests have been held. Three casualties involving fractures of bones and one a dislocation of the shoulder have occurred, one due to a push from another patient, and the rest to accidental falls. There have been a few cases of Enteric Fever, three among the Staff and six among the Patients, occurring sporadically and none of them fatal. There was an outbreak of Dysentery in the months of February and March, 1917, and there have been a number of sporadic cases since, a few being under treatment now. The Nursing Staff consists, on the Male side, of 8 Charge, 30 ordinary Day, and 7 Night Attendants, and on the Female side of 11 Charge, 37 for ordinary Day and 10 for Night duty. No women are employed on the Male side, the] difficulty being now greater in obtaining them than men. Dr. Planck is assisted by Dr. Forster and by Dr. Clegg, who is acting as temporary Assistant Medical Officer. L. L. SHADWELL, Commissioner of the Board of Control.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30318695_0038.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
