They came from all parts of the Province. All were under 16 years of age--most of them came fro* the homes of the needy--over 95% oceupled Public Ward beds. Careful management kept hospitalization costs down among the lowest for children's hospitals in the whole of North America. In spite of this, the cost of caring for 9,000 little bed patients and of supplying the medical attention required by 79,410 children's visits to our heavily burdened Out-Patient Department, was much more than the revenue received from all sources. A similar deficit occurs every year because the Public Ward rates are less than the bare cost of hospital service. In some cases the parents pay, and in others their municipalities shoulder the burden. In either event, our revenue is at the same fixed rate--about $1.00 per patient day less than our costs.
