PUBLIC HEALTH (TUBERCULOSIS) REGULATIONS, 1924.
The provisions of these Regulations are being- systematically carried out with
regard to the Register of Notified Cases of Tuberculosis. This work entails a
quarterly revision of the Register by the removal of the names of patients who
have died, left the district, and those, who in the opinion of the Tuberculosis
Officer, confirmed by the L.C.C. Medical Officer, should be denotified.
The reports of the Tuberculosis Officers received for transmission to the
L.C.C., and those of the Municipal Tuberculosis Visiting Nurse, afford valuable
information with regard to removals from the district, and enable us to a
considerable extent to keep our register up-to-date.
The following is a statistical statement shewing the number of cases of Notified Tuberculosis on the register at the commencement of the year, the numbers, removed during that period, and the actual number remaining at the close of the year, 1926 (i.e., ending 1st January, 1927) :—
