Of the 101 notifications received, (a) 61 referred to adult women, (b) 40
referred to children up to 14 years, and girls from 11-16 years.
Frequently I do not see the patient more than once, as whenever possible she
is advised to attend the Tuberculosis Dispensary, and if she does so there is no
need to keep in touch with her.
I desire to express my thanks to all those whose kind co-operation has assisted
me in my work. I am again much indebted to Miss Tucker, of the East London
Friendly Workers' Association, whose kind and practical assistance has been
readily given whenever circumstances have permitted. Special thanks are also
due to those helpers of the Women's League of Service who have extended their
interest to women attending the Dining Rooms, and have assisted them in various
ways.
I have the honour to be,
Your obedient Servant,
ETHEL J. CHARLESWORTH.
