The finances during 1919 were derived from the following
sources: —
£ s. d.
Central Fund 765 0 0
Insurance Committee 325 0 0
Borough Council 600 0 0

£1949 18 6
The cost of running the Dispensary in 1919 was £1,862.
There is no provision at present for attending people at the
far end of the Borough in Rotherhithe, and a branch of the Dispensary
should be formed down there.
I estimate the cost of running the Dispensary as a branch
of the Public Health Service will be £2,400 0s. 0d., made up as
follows: —
Salaries: £ s . d.
