This hospital closed on 15th May, 1947, and has since been made available to the authorities in South Africa. The patients who were evacuated from this hospital back to England by hospital ship in May, and who needed further hospital treatment, were sent to suitable hospitals and sanatoria in this country. Of the two patients who were not fit for the journey in May, one will be given suitable accommodation when she eventually returns to this country; the other has already returned.
