Recommendations for Future Consideration.
In his Annual Report the Medical Officer of Health is
requested by the Local Government Board to indicate directions
for further consideration and action.
While many points for consideration are included in the
body of the report, I would recommend that the following
further matters should receive attention
(.1) The opening up of certain blind streets and the making
of open thoroughfares.
(2) The formation of an Anti-Tuberculosis Dispensary.
(3) The provision, when required, of two or three beds
in a Sanatorium for suitable cases of Pulmonary
Phthisis, and the provision of shelters for the homes
in necessitous cases of Consumption.
(4) The formation of a voluntary ladies' health society.
