A residential institution approved by the Local
Government Board under the National Insurance
Act, 1911, is termed a "Sanatorium."
The new Regulations provide for the notification
of all kinds of Tuberculosis, and forms for use
thereunder (a supply of which will be forwarded to
you immediately they are ready), provide for this
and for the particulars which are already required;
they must also state occupation of the patient.
All Institutional Medical Officers are required
to notify cases of persons suffering from Tuberculosis,
with the exception of those who have already
been reported, on the form designated A, within 48
hours to the Medical Officer of Health for the district
within which the usual place of residence of the
patient is situate.
In cases which have been previously notified,
Poor Law Medical Officers and Medical Officers of
Sanatoria are required to send to the Medical
Officer of Health weekly, on form C, a list of all such
cases admitted during the week, which terminates
at Saturday midnight.
Cases discharged from Poor Law Institutions
and Sanatoria, excepting those transferred to other
Poor Law Institutions and Sanatoria, are to be
notified weekly on form D.
The two weekly lists are to be sent respectively
to the Medical Officer of Health of the district of
residence, and to the Medical Officer of Health of
the district of destination.
