X-Ray Facilities.
The arrangements with the University College Hospital in force
in previous years for the X-Ray examination of patients referred by
the Tuberculosis Officer, continued in operation until the transfer of
the dispensary from Whiskin Street to the Health Centre towards
the end of the year.
From that time X-Ray examinations were carried out with the
equipment installed there.
The close relation of the X-Ray Department now provided, to
the other activities of the clinic, should greatly advance the utility
of the scheme in future.
Hospitals and Sanatoria.
Hospital and Sanatorium treatment is provided by the London
County Council at their several institutions for patients recommended
for this by the Tuberculosis Officer.
During 1938, 211 patients received treatment in one or more
institutions of whom 78 remained in hospital on 31st December.
