In December, replies to the enquiries ordered by the
Sub-Committee were received:—(1) The terms quoted by
the Queen's Hospital were too excessive to form the basis
of any agreement. (2) The Victoria Park Hospital
declined to agree to any part scheme, but offered the
following alternative:—
(a) To appoint and pay a Tuberculosis Officer a
salary at the rate of £300 per annum.
(b) To provide a dispensary within the precincts
of the Hospital (apart from the ordinary out-patient
rooms) for the reception and treatment of cases of
Tuberculosis recommended by the Medical Officer of
Health as representing the Borough Council; the
advice and assistance of the full medical staff of the
hospital (X Bay, Dental, and Throat Departments), in
addition to that of the Tuberculosis Officer to be
available when necessary. The inclusive payment
quoted for this complete scheme was at the rate of
two shillings for each attendance of a patient at the
dispensary.
The Mildmay Mission Hospital Trustees were unable
to undertake for payment the treatment of Tuberculosis
cases.
