Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fortieth Annual Report of the Local Government Board, 1910-11: Supplement in Continuation of the Report of the Medical Officer of the Board for 1910-11, Containing a Report on Isolation Hospitals
So far as the area which may be conveniently served by an isolation hospital is concerned, it is pointed out that circum stances have considerably changed Since Sir R. T. Thorne prepared his report the recent improvements in means of communication and transport enabling a hospital to serve aconsiderably larger area than was formerly thought practicable. The provision of a Single joint hospital for a number of small districts enables important advantages, as regards both economy and efficiency, to be secured which are seldom practicable for small separate hospitals. This is especially the case for small-pox hospitals which may conveniently serve a larger area than' those for other acute infectious diseases.
