Venereal Diseases.—During the year the Local Government Board issued the
Public Health (Venereal Diseases) Regulations, 1916, in which authorities are given
power to provide facilities for persons suffering from various forms of venereal
disease to obtain advice and treatment free and secretly.
Unfortunately, in some respects, the London County Council is the authority
under the regulations, and the Council and the Medical Officer of Health are only
expected to do what they can to help make the scheme of the first-named body
public. The Middlesex Hospital, the only great hospital in the borough, is one of
the institutions included in the scheme which had not come into operation when the
year came to an end.
Disinfection.—The total number of rooms disinfected during the year was 1120,
and of articles (beds, bedding, etc.) 24,842. In the majority of instances the reason
for disinfection was on account of infectious disease, but in 44 cases it was rendered
necessary by reason of the presence of vermin.
