The amount recoverable from the London County Council, as the
School Authority, for the cleansing for the year 1925 is £96 10s. 0d.
In addition to the above, 10 adults were cleansed at the Station during
the year. These cases were verminous. There were no adult attendances
as a consequence of infection by Scabies or Impetigo in 1925.
(b) TUBERCULOSIS.
This part of the report deals with the work of the Department under
the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1912, and under the
Dispensary scheme approved by the Ministry of Health and the London
County Council who contribute 50 per cent. and 25 per cent. respectively
of the nett expenditure of that scheme.
Staff. The staff of the Dispensary is set out in Section II. Miss
V. Kemble (Secretary of the Dispensary and Social Worker in connection
with Tuberculosis) resigned her appointment during the year and Miss
M. A. Hordern was appointed in her stead. Otherwise no change has
taken place in the staff.
Notifications. The total number of notifications received was 197,
but 62 of these related to cases which had been previously notified, so
that the total number of new notifications was 135. In 1924, the corresponding
number was 137. The notifications received on forms C and D,
i.e., notifications from institutions regarding admission and discharge,
are not included in the foregoing figures. In Table No. 41 are shown,
in the form required by the Ministry of Health, the detailed figures
relating to new cases and mortality during 1925. Included in this Table
are eight new cases which came to the knowledge of the Medical Officer
of Health during the year, otherwise than by notification on Form A
or Form B under the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations.
