For twenty-five years Pamela La Fane, crippled with rheumatoid arthritis, has lived in a geriatric hospital. For the 3,000 young chronic sick like her there are few alternatives. For years she has dreamed of being able to live a more independent life, free from the routine and discipline of hospital. During the last year she has paid three visits to Mary Marlborough Lodge, a Rehabilitation Centre at Oxford, where she hopes she may be helped to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of getting 'a flat of her own.'
