The Treatment of Advanced Cases.
The weakest point in the present scheme is the lack of adequate
institutional accomodation for advanced and failing cases.
"There can be no manner of doubt that the far advanced
or dying cases constitute the greatest source of infection."
G. H. Dart,
Tuberculosis Officer.
SCHOOL CLINICS, HEALTH CENTRES AND INFANT
CONSULTATIONS.
These Institutions, as enumerated last year, still continue their
good work in the Borough, and, at the time of writing this Report,
the Greenwich Borough Council have decided to adopt the course
suggested in last year's Annual Report, and to take over the
responsibility of administering Conduit House Consultation Centre.
In fact this Consultation is now working as a Municipal Institution,
and it has been decided to considerably increase the activities
of the Centre in the near future.
INFANT CONSULTATION, CONDUIT HOUSE.
The Consultation at Conduit House, East Greenwich, was
started in June, 1913, by the Medical Officer of Health and a
number of ladies living in the Borough.
The Centre has recently become a Municipal Institution and
is administered by the Public Health Committee of the Council,
