No additional facilities were available during the year 1933, the position remaining much the same as in the previous year.

The report is based on. a general survey by the County Medical Officer, accompanied by the County Sanitary Inspector, of the hospital accommodation for infectious diseases in the County as a whole and upon a careful inspection of the Isolation Hospitals, in company with the District Medical Officers of Health, and the District Sanitary Inspectors. Upon the completion of the survey the County Council prepared, in consultation with the District Councils and other Councils concerned, both within and without the area of the County, a scheme for the provision of adequate hospital accommodation for the treatment of infectious diseases in the County and which has been submitted to the Minister of Health for his approval.
