Pulmonary Tuberculosis Notifiable under Local Acts.
Article XII. deals with those cases in which powers have
been obtained with respect to pulmonary tuberculosis by a
Local Act. Nothing in the Regulations will have effect in
derogation of any power or obligation under any such Act, but
subject to this the Regulations will apply to any district in
which a Local Act containing provisions with respect to
pulmonary tuberculosis is in force.
The Board may, however, on the application of the Council
of the district direct that so much of the Regulations as relates
to a notification by a Medical Officer of a Poor Law Institution
or a District Medical Officer shall not have effect in relation to
that district.
Date on which the Order comes into effect.
The Order will take effect on and after January 1st next,
and it is desirable that the arrangements which are necessary
to facilitate carrying it out should be made without any delay.
In fixing January 1st as the day when the Order shall come
into operation the Board have had regard to the convenience,
from a statistical point of view, of the Order taking effect at
the commencement of a calendar year. If, however, any delay
occurs in the printing of the forms, it may he understood that
it will not be necessary to carry out the Regulations until these
can be obtained.
Copies of the Order and Circular are enclosed, and I am to
request that a copy of each may be given to the Medical
Officer of Health.
The Order and Circular will be placed on sale so that
copies may shortly be obtained, either directly or through any
bookseller, from Messrs. Wyman & Sons, Limited, Fetter Lane,
London, E. C.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
S. B. PROVIS, Secretary.
The Town Clerk or
The Clerk to the Urban or
Rural District Council.
