Summary of the Work Done.—An important duty of the
Tuberculosis Care Committee has been the investigation of the
financial circumstances of patients recommended to the London
County Council for Institutional treatment and the assessment of
the amount these patients should pay towards the cost of the
treatment. During the year the County Council decided to make
the treatment free, so that the assessment of patients by the Committee
is no longer required. Up to the time that this decision was
put into force, the Committee had undertaken the assessment of
304 cases from the commencement of the year and £586 16 lOd.
was collected from patients and remitted to the County Council.
Although there is now no need for an assessment to be made,
the County Council still require a return to be made to them giving
