statistical reports which have to be prepared, render the position
of the Secretary-Dispenser particularly arduous. Miss E. M.
Russell has again carried out these duties with great accuracy and
efficiency, while during her absence on holiday we have had once
more the pleasure of welcoming Miss W. M. Fellowes as her
Locum-tenens.
I have, as in the past, had the advantage of being able to
refer patients to the Physicians and Surgeons of the Hospital, a
privilege of which I have fully availed myself. In 1933, 47
Dispensary patients were thus seen, 31 by Dr. Loughborough in
the X-Ray Department, and 7 by Mr. Roydon Peacock in the
Ear, Nose and Throat Department; and to them and to the
other members of the Hospital Staff I am indebted for much
valuable help.
I have also to thank Mr. G. W. Cooling, the Hospital Secretary,
for ready assistance in matters pertaining to the Dispensary that
come within his province ; and the Matron of the Hospital for
supervising the nursing arrangements, which have remained most
satisfactory.
The Dispensary is greatly indebted to the Chief Administrative
Officers, Dr. G. H. Dart, Medical Officer of Health for Hackney,
and Dr. F. D. Ross-Keyt, Medical Officer of Health for Stoke
Newington, for the interest which they have continued to show in
the Department.
In conclusion, I wish to express my gratitude to the Tuberculosis
Dispensary Committee and the representatives of the Boroughs
of Hackney and Stoke Newington for their assistance and support
during the year.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
F. W. HAMILTON,
Clinical Tuberculosis Officer.
