10 (4) REPORT OF CO-OPERATION BETWEEN DISTRICT COMMITTEES OF C.O.S. AND HOSPITAL ALMONER FROM JULY TO DECEMBER 1901. Fifteen cases have been referred from the Royal Free Hospital to District Committees of C.O.S. for friendly visits, as follows:— Islington 6 St. George's 1 Holborn 1 Whitechapel 1 Holloway 1 North St. Pancras 2 South St. Pancras 2 Hackney 1 One case resulted in an application to C.O.S for assistance, which was granted. Three cases resulted in applications to the Guardians for assistance, which was granted. One case was already known unfavourably to C.O.S., and their recommendation that no assistance be given was followed. In two cases a private doctor was called in on the advice of the visitor, after communication with the hospital. In two cases the patient was able to carry out the doctor's orders satisfactorily without outside help, although this had seemed impossible at first. One case was referred to School Board manager with good result. Three cases of serious and incurable illness were referred to church nurse and visitors. Two cases refused advice, and resented the visit by discontinuing attendance at the hospital. Only one case has been referred to C.O.S. for partial inquiry, on the strength of which temporary employment was found for a man whose children were suffering from mal-nutrition. The visits paid by District Committees have been distinctly helpful, and it is sincerely hoped that such help will be continued. Many visits are still paid direct from the hospital, sometimes on account of extreme urgency, sometimes when there is doubt as to the nature of the illness and a possibility of infection, and sometimes for the sake of the experience to the workers. The demands upon the District Committees in this direction will certainly increase as mutual confidence is established. Fourteen cases are recorded in which special medical opinions have been obtained for District Committees. January 6, 1902.
