Dr. Kidd, the Medical Officer in charge of the Borough Council's
Pre-Maternity Clinics, has submitted to us several cases for observation.
The importance of the influence of child bearing, both pathologically
and socially, on the tuberculous patient is so great that the
importance of keeping the two Clinics in close touch is patent.
The successful working of a Dispensary is to no small extent
dependent on the Tuberculosis Nurse, and I consider that in that respect
we are very fortunate in having the services of our present Nurse.
Lastly, and in 110 means least, I have to thank our Medical Officer
of Health, Dr. Scrase, for his kind and helpful advice and opinion on
anything which one submits to him.
