The Infectious Diseases Hospital in the North is for evacuee child- ren, whilst the South Hospital caters for the ordinary population. GENERAL HOSPITALS. War conditions and increased population have to some extent strained the resources of the Hospitals, but the permanent stall, ably aided by Civil Nursing Reserve and Volunteer Nurses, have carried out their duties most efficiently.
