Some assistance has also been rendered to patients
in getting necessary clothing for use while in sanatoria.
SANATORIUM TREATMENT.
During the year 152 patients were recommended
to the London County Council for Sanatorium Treat—
ment, and 135 of them were sent away for such treat—
ment.
Of the remaining 17 cases, 13 patients were offered
beds in one of the L.C.C. General Hospitals and in 9
instances this offer was accepted; in 1 case a sanatorium
vacancy was declined; 1 patient removed to another
borough while his case was under consideration; and in
the remaining 2 cases the L.C.C. were unable to provide
sanatorium treatment, no reason being given for non.
acceptance.
One patient was sent to Papworth but did not
remain.
Eight children were recommended and admitted to
the open.air school at Stormont House, Hackney.
GRANTS OF EXTRA NOURISHMENT.
During the year 305 grants of Grade A (Tuberculin
Tested) milk and new laid eggs were made to 113 necessitous
tuberculous patients at an estimated cost of £325.
35 patients were receiving nourishment at the end of
the year. Now that the detailed restriction of the
Ministry of Health has been removed by the Local
Government Act, slightly more has been spent on this
very necessary adjunct to medical treatment.
