NOTES—Part I.
(a) Formal notifications are notifications which are made in pursuance of Article 5 of the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1930, and should include
notifications made by Naval, Military or Air Force Medical Authorities.
(b) Primary notifications for the purpose of columns (2)-(13) relate to patients who have never previously been formally notified in the area to which the
Return relates.
A patient who changes his residence from one Sanitary District to another in the same County may properly be the subject of Primary Notification in each such
District. Only the first of such notifications, however, should be recorded in columns (2)-(13) of the Return for the County concerred, the subsequent notification(s)
being included in*column (14).
(c) Column (14). All formal notifications, whether duplicate or not, should be included in this column.
General.—Patients notified as suffering from combined pulmonary and non-pulmonary tuberculosis should be included among the "pulmonary" returns only.
If a patient already notified as suffering from one form of tuberculosis is subsequently notified to the Medical Officer of Health of the same Sanitary District as suffering
from another form of tuberculosis, the fact should be noted in the Notification Register, but such notification should be recorded as a duplicate notification.
