Revision of Tuberculosis Register.
In accordance with the suggestion of the Ministry of Health
the Tuberculosis register is periodically revised, and during 1932
the names of 132 patients were, after medical examination and
consideration of their history, removed from the register, as compared
with 33 in 1931.
The County of London (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1930.
These Regulations, dated 26th March, 1930, came into force
on 1st April, 1930. They empowered the London County Council
to arrange for the maintenance, otherwise than in their own homes,
of children living in houses where, owing to overcrowding or otherwise,
they are, in the opinion of the County Medical Officer, in
danger of being infected with tuberculosis, or whose parents are
receiving residential treatment for tuberculosis and for whose care
adequate arrangements cannot otherwise be made.
During 1932 two children were boarded out under the scheme.
