Provision of Beds.—The Borough Council supplies beds,
bedding, bed rests, and other nursing requisites when these are
recommended by the Tuberculosis Officer in order to prevent the
spread of infection, or to make the lot of the patient easier. Very
wide and extensive powers in this connection are given to the
Borough Council by Clause 12 of the Public Health (Tuberculosis)
Regulations, 1930, which enable a local authority to supply all
facilities and articles which may reasonably be required for
removing conditions which favour infection.
Fourteen beds and bedding remained on loan to patients
and six beds and bedding were loaned to further patients during
the year.
