There was some decrease in the number of specimens. This
laboratory is most convenient for the medical practitioners in the
Borough. In most of the London Boroughs this work is done by
an outside laboratory at a cost of £100 to £200 per annum, which
is saved in Bermondsey by the work being done by the Medical
Officer of Health.
