48 were available to Negroes; one reported that no policy has been established in as much as "the problem had never come up." On this last questionnaire the hospital failed to check facilities available to Negroes. Nevertheless, records show that Negroes were among the in-patients admissions in this institution for 1949. Two hospitals gave admission figures for 1949 in a breakdown by race. One hospital reported two Negroes among 3,632 in patients admissions for 1949; the other estimated 24 Negro patients among 3,784 in patients admissions for the same period. In a total of 7,416 in-patients admissions to these two institutions for 1949 of whom 50% were from Burlington, there were 26 Negro patients. On the basis of an estimated total population of 30,000 and 300 Negroes in 1949, the in-patient admissions to these two institutions show that Negroes have received service at the rate of 8 in every hundred while the whole of Burlington population has been hospitalized at the rate of 12.5 every hundred. At the same time, all three hospitals reported that they had never received any complaints concerning Negro patients. Staff Each hospital was given the opportunity to give the number of Negroes in the following staff positions: Active Medical Staff Courtesy (or visiting medical staff) Staff nurses Student nurses Private duty nurses Nurses aides (paid) Orderlies Technicians Clinical Laboratory X-ray Dietitians Clerical staff All other paid help
