The above figures do not include the monthly reports to the Medical Officer
of Health.
7.—Contacts.
A good deal of difficulty has been experienced in securing the systematic
examination of all contacts, and this part of the work has not been satisfactory.
Many of the families resented the suggestion that some of their members might
be tubercular.
The figures are as follows: 30 contacts submitted to examination, and 45
either refused or gave vague promises, which they did not keep.
Of the 30 contacts examined, 3 were found to be suffering from pulmonary
tuberculosis, 3 were doubtful, and 24 were free from active disease
Of the 3 tubercular contacts, 1 was an adult (31 years) and 2 were children
(6 years).

9.—Miscellaneous.
Of the patients recommended for hospital treatment, 14 were admitted to
the University College Hospital.
Four doubtful cases (children) were admitted to the University College
Hospital for observation.
Two consultations were held with the Medical Adviser of the London
Insurance Committee.
