Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations,

It was not necessary to take action under these Regulations
during 1936, which relate to persons suffering from pulmonary
tuberculosis employed in the milk industry.
Tuberculosis Dispensary.
The Tuberculosis Dispensary which for some years was situated
at No. 19, Brunswick Square was transferred to Nos. 34 - 35, Brunswick
Square in May of the year under review. It was generally
agreed when the question of the transfer of these premises was
considered that the new premises were not suitable as a permanent
home for the Tuberculosis Dispensary and that better accommodation
must sooner or later be found.
