Treatment and Prevention of Tuberculosis.—Fulham
Tuberculosis Dispensary.
In May, 1913, the Borough Council entered into an
agreement with the Committee of Management of the
Fulham Tuberculosis Dispensary, under which they
agreed to contribute for the financial year ending March
31st, 1914, the sum of £300 towards the maintenance of
the Dispensary and on the termination of this period
they decided to renew the agreement and to increase
their contribution for the financial year ending March
31st, 1915, to £750.
Of this sum one-half is repaid to the Council by the
Local Government Board and one quarter by the
London County Council, the net contribution of the
Borough Council being £187 10s.
The most important feature in the history of the
Dispensary during the year has been its removal from
632, Fulham Road, where the accommodation was very
inadequate, to 114, New King's Road, which has been
leased to the Committee by the Borough Council. The
Medical Officer, Dr. Sullivan, in his report states that by
the removal to New King's Road, the expansion of
various departments previously hampered by want of
space has been made possible; the Institution now
possesses an excellent laboratory, and the X ray examination
of patients at the School Clinic has been largely
taken advantage of and has proved of great value, and
arrangements are being made to have a larger proportion
of the cases examined in this manner.
