On March 22nd, 1911, the Local Government Board
issued the Public Health (Tuberculosis in Hospitals) Regulations,
1911, which came into operation on May 1st. Under
these regulations notifications are received of all phthisical
patients attending hospitals, dispensaries, or similar institutions.
Finally we have at the end of 1911 an order of the Local
Government Board—called "The Public Health (Tuberculosis
Regulations), 1911," under which all other cases of pulmonary
phthisis must be notified.
This order came into force on the 1st January, 1912, and
the Board advised that the arrangements which were necessary
to facilitate the execution of the order should be made as soon
as possible.
