It should also be remembered that the Tuberculosis Officer
in addition to the primary duty of diagnosis and treatment of
tuberculosis, has to attend meetings of the Advisory Committees,
Care Committees and Case Committees, and prepare tables of
statistics for the information of the Committees. He is also
expected, according to Circular 149, to visit at least once, the
home of each dispensary patient; and should also visit for the
purpose of examining contacts, and for consultation and reporting
purposes as often as may be required. The three Tuberculosis
Officers appointed at the two Dispensaries are required to carry
out the treatment of Tuberculosis in three Metropolitan Boroughs
containing in 1920 a total estimated population of 392,997, with
488 deaths from tuberculosis and with 954 primary cases of tuber,
culosis notified during that year alone.
