Dispensaries. This being so, I strongly advise the Public Health
Committee to extend' the work of the Tuberculosis Dispensaries in
the borough so as to include one or more Day Sanatoria. These
cannot, like the Fulham institution, be situated so near the
Dispensaries, but this, though convenient, is not essential. The
essential point is to have the site in or adjacent to some open space,
where the air is fresh and pure and frequently renewed. Situations
such as the borders of Victoria Park, Hackney Downs or Springfield
Park, would fulfil this essential.
I recommend—
1. That the Tuberculosis Dispensary scheme of the
Borough be extended to include the provision of one or more
Day Sanatoria.
2. That a scheme be prepared for the establishment of
one or more Day Sanatoria in the Borough, showing in detail,
particulars as to proposed sites, total cost, and the proportion
of the cost to be contributed by the Local Government Board
and the London County Council.
I remain,
Yours obediently,
(Sgd.) J. King Warry, M.D., D.P.H., etc.,
Medical Officer of Health, and
Chief Executive Tuberculosis Officer.
