Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925.
No action was found necessary under the provisions of these
Regulations during 1933.
Revision of Tuberculosis Register.
In accordance with the suggestion of the Ministry of Health
the Tuberculosis register is periodically revised, and during 1933
the names of 42 patients were, after medical examination and
consideration of their history, removed from the register, as compared
with 132 in 1932.
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 1933 four children were boarded out under the scheme.
