(g) The duties of the Tuberculosis Officer to include
the examination of tuberculous persons or suspects,
the treatment of such persons, consultation
and diagnosis of cases, visitations, supply
of certain information to the Medical Officer of
Health, to examine specimens of sputum, to
attend meetings of the Insurance Committee, to
carry out the duties required by the Local
Government Board, the London County Council,
and the London Insurance Committee; and
other matters.
(h) The dispensary to be open at all reasonable
times for inspection by the County Council and
the Insurance Committee.
29. There are a number of points arising upon the
draft agreement as to treatment of insured persons, the
times during which the dispensary is to be open, the
Tuberculosis Officer, the keeping of records by the Hospital
Authorities, the constitution, acts and proceedings
of the advisory committee, the annual sum to be paid
to the Hospital Authorities by the Council, the terms on
which the agreement can be determined, and other
matters.
30. If an agreement is made with the Hospital
Authorities, it will be necessary for the Council to appoint
a temporary Health Visitor at an annual salary of
say £100, rising by increments of £5 to £120, to discharge
duties in connection with the scheme. This
appears to be the only material expense cast upon the
Council in addition to the payment of £925 per annum
to the Hospital Authorities, but it would be well to allocate
a sum of £20 per annum for contingencies.
