" In all 432 cases have been notified, and of these 230
have died, 122 have removed, 23 recovered, six were not cases
of Consumption, in 31 110 enquiries were made at the request
of the notifying practitioner, while 20 were still alive at the
close of the year.
"These cases were, with the exception of the 31 in which
no enquiries were made, visited by the female Sanitary
Inspectors and kept under observation till the death or
removal of the patient, when the premises were disinfected
and cleansed. The 20 cases remaining are still being visited
by these Inspectors. The circular which was issued in 1903
is still used and valuable instruction is given by the Inspectors
to those in charge of the patients, or to the patients themselves.
"In the beginning of 1909 the Local Government Board
issued regulations making it compulsory on every Poor Law
Medical Officer to notify any cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis
to the Medical Officer of Health, and also to notify any
change of address of the patients.
