of being tuberculous have been referred to the Dispensary by the School Medical
Service and Maternity and Child Welfare Centre. From the Centre have also
come mothers suspected of suffering from tuberculosis.
As in previous years, contact has been maintained with the local practitioners
and also with University College Hospital, and the other hospitals
situated in or near the Borough, between which hospitals and the Dispensary
there is a considerable interchange of patients. Full advantage has also been
taken of the valuable help given by University College Hospital in the diagnosis
of obscure cases, particularly in the matter of X-ray work, laryngoscopy and
pathological investigations. To the Hospital have been referred cases of nontuberculous
disease, from which tuberculous patients, like others, are liable
to suffer. On the other hand, the Dispensary is used by the Hospital as a
channel for furnishing the various reports sent to the County Councils concerning
In-Patients who come under the schemes for institutional treatment of tuberculosis,
while those referred from the Out-Patient Department are put in touch
with the Tuberculosis Officer of the area in which they reside and their removal
to sanatoria, etc., facilitated.
