VENEREAL DISEASES—TREATMENT CLINICS.
The County Council of Middlesex are responsible for putting into operation
the Regulations of 1916 for the prevention and treatment of venereal diseases,
and has made arrangements for (1) the diagnosis and treatment of persons as
in-patients or out-patients; (2) laboratory facilities for aid in diagnosis and
treatment.
The patient has a choice of thirty hospitals, going as far afield as Richmond,
in Surrey, and the Seaman's and Miller's Hospital at Greenwich. The
nearest is the Prince of Wales's Hospital at Tottenham, a threepenny
tram ride.
The County Medical Officer of Health informs me that "information as
to the number of cases from each separate district in the County is not
available."
The total number of Middlesex patients treated at the Prince of Wales's
Hospital, Tottenham, as given in the annual report of the County Medical Officer
of Health for the year 1920 is as follows:—
Suffering from Syphilis 142
Suffering from Soft Chancre 10
Suffering from Gonorrhoea 169
Not suffering from Venereal Disease 110
Total Attendances 8,459
Number of "In-Patient" days of treatment 304
Number of doses of Salvarsan substitutes given 795
