Elizabeth Hospital before taking up the post of chief

physician to the Overseas Service of the Canadian Govern-ment, a position which he held until his retirement twoyears ago. Here he was able to show his deep compassionfor, and understanding of, people. His love was, in fact, forany living thing, and he became an avid and erudite collectorof bees, tropical fish, orchids, and wildfowl-he was anactive member of the Wildfowl Trust. Another of hisinterests was music, and he played in weekly quartets, beingan excellent violinist and violist. Retirement was indeed forhim an enjoyable and positive activity.He is survived by his wife and a daughter.

Notes and News

UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS 1969

IN 1969 the Universities Central Council on Admissions’clearing operation-that last-minute struggle to match

previously disappointed applicants against unfilled universityplaces-revealed a surplus of suitable candidates in the artsand a deficit in science.’ 1 By last May the universityregistrars had a fairly good idea of how many new studentsthey hoped to admit for the 1968-69 academic year. In theevent, total admissions for science were 850 short of anestimated 16,828, and engineering fared little better.Medicine seems to have had no such problem even thoughcandidates must have come from much the same sixth-form

pool as those applying to study biological sciences and

chemistry. 5141 men and 1805 women applied, viaU.C.C.A., for medical-school places in 1969; 1751 men and660 women were accepted, and the total number of medicalstudents starting university courses last October was 2749.Analysis of the U.C.C.A. clearing results suggests that thedeficit in science may be one of quality rather than quantity.In percentage of academically good applicants (total G.C.E.score equivalent to three A-level passes at grade C or better)who remained unplaced after clearing, medicine was closerto English, while the pattern for sociology resembled thatfor science:

REHABILITATION OF THE DISABLED

REHABILITATION services for the disabled in Britain are

potentially the best in the world. All areas have hospital,general-practitioner, and local-authority services; there aredisablement resettlement officers, Government trainingcentres, and special employment facilities. But the totalachievement of all these services falls short of their collec-tive objective owing to lack of coordination. This is theconclusion of a report 2 by Dr. Gordon Yates, who studieddisablement facilities in North America and Scandinavia inorder to compare them with provisions in Britain.The tripartite division of responsibility for the disabled

between general practitioner, local authority, and hospitalis blamed for the muddle. The administrative structure is

comprehensive, but so complex that the disabled personcan find himself shunted from pillar to post because ofdepartmentalism. At present, the general practitionermanages about 90% of the care of the chronically ill; heknows the patient, his circumstances, and family back-

ground. He is uniquely competent to act for the disabledas a liaison between the various services, and to help thespecialists with his knowledge of the patient. But often thegeneral practitioner has little or no contact with the hos-pitals, and the hospital specialists all too frequently con-centrate on one aspect of the patient’s problem withoutregard to his overall needs. More responsibility should alsobe given to the ancillary workers in hospitals. For example,physiotherapists should be allowed to plan and carry

through a course of treatment with only minimal super-vision from the doctor. It is, after all, these workers whocome into close daily contact with patients, yet at presentmuch of their skill is wasted.

2. Rehabilitation Services for the Disabled. A Report to the NuffieldFoundation. By GORDON YATES, M.R.C.G.P.

373

Dr. Yates proposes the setting up of district-general-hospital rehabilitation units, where the general practitionerwould have a definite role. All patients should then beclassified according to their degree of illness and depend-ence on the nurse, so that rehabilitation patients, who donot require intensive care, could be directed straight to theunits. This would relieve pressure on acute-care beds andreduce the cost (beds for rehabilitation patients costingonly 20% of acute-care beds) and also speed treatment ofthe disabled. Dr. Yates hoped that these units would pro-vide centres where all branches of disablement care couldcome together and study the patient’s total needs. Dr.Yates is alarmed at the lack of communication between thedisabled and those who help them. For instance, it is notrare for a specialist to prescribe an appliance which isunsuited to the patient’s home and work environment. Yetthe family doctor, who is probably aware of these factors, isnot allowed to prescribe appliances. Even more alarming isthe lack of communication between workers in this field,who can be unaware of developments outside their owninstitutions. With the number of disabled growing eachyear, the rehabilitation services should form a united frontto meet the challenge.

CARE OF SUBNORMAL CHILDREN

A NEW film,’ A Way of Caring, portrays a day in the lifeof 17 severely subnormal children in an Oxford hostel. Thetechnique is cinema verité. The hostel takes boys andgirls up to the age of 16, and evidently the diagnoses vary.The film is arresting and highly competent, and the com-mentary is restrained. Its point is well made: hostels forsubnormal children, though perhaps double the cost perplace per week of run-of-the-mill subnormal hospitals, areplaces where such children can live and be happy together.
