The building faces Harton Street, but in order to secure separate
entrances to the various departments, all the entrances have been placed
at the sides of the building. It will be seen from the plan which will
be found at the commencement of this Annual Report that the Light
Treatment and Ante-natal (or Schick Test) waiting rooms face Harton
Street. Proceeding from these along the corridor there are, on the
right, dressing cubicles, Ante-natal and Schick Test rooms, Tuberculosis
Care Committee Secretary's room, Clerk's and Tuberculosis Health
Visitors' rooms, and finally, the Laboratory. On the left are staff
lavatories, cloak room, dental room and dental recovery room, and
male staff lavatory. A hall divides the above-mentioned portion of the
building from the large Tuberculosis waiting room. Leading from the
latter is a passage to the Tuberculosis Officer's consulting room and an

dressing cubicle en route to the Doctor's room. On the far side of the
Tuberculosis waiting room there is a Porter's room, store room,
lavatories, etc., and a coal repository.
