London Hospital for the provision of a tuberculosis
dispensary for Bethnal Green during the period ending
31st March, 1918.
41. If further negotiations lead to the establishment
of a tuberculosis dispensary for Bethnal Green at
the City of London Hospital, the Council will doubtless
obtain experience which will be of service in the formulation
at a later date of any scheme which the Council
think necessary for the provision of a municipal Institution,
or for continuing or revising the Hospital scheme
as the case may be.
42. It is understood that the Hospital dispensary
scheme for portion of the Borough of Hackney is in
operation and arrangements can be made for the members
of the sub-committee to view the dispensary if they
so desire. If there are material points upon which members
require further information, a conference with
Officers of the Local Government Board might be of
service.
43. The sub-committee will doubtless readily appreciate
that the working of tuberculosis dispensaries is
still in an experimental stage, and that any opinions
which officers of the Council have expressed or implied in
this memorandum may hereafter be confirmed or varied
in the light of further experience.
