Besides the above circulation, posters were displayed throughout
the Borough and several thousand leaflets were distributed to Housing
Estates and the General Public. Posters and leaflets drew special
attention to the Public Sessions (where no appointments were
necessary) for men and women. It must be admitted that the
attendances at the Public Sessions were surprisingly low and, therefore,
disappointing.
All examinees attending Mass Radiography Unit 6D, are notified
the result of their examination, but they are asked to bring a stamped
addressed envelope for this purpose.
The aim of any Mass Radiography Unit is to discover tuberculosis
or other chest ailments in the early stages, when they are more easily
curable. By the adoption of the appointments system the Unit can
examine large numbers with the minimum of inconvenience, and a
great saving in examinee's time. The Service is free, reliable and
confidential.
The Organising Secretary, Mass Radiography Unit, Finsbury
Health Centre, Pine Street, London, E.C.I. (Telephone Nos.
Terminus 2121, Ext. 92 or TERminus 6184) will be pleased to send
full particulars of the Service to interested firms and individuals.
