One hundred and eighty-nine cases were referred to Chest Clinics,
hospitals, etc.,for further investigations,and so far (mid-March, 1963)
forty eight cases with a significant tuberculosis lesion have been reported
as well as four cases of carcinoma of the lung. Pinal diagnoses
are awaited from twenty-two cases. Clinics generally record their sputum
findings.
For the larger part of the year under review, the Unit operated at
the Mass Radiogrphy Centre,20 Golden Lane, E.C.l.,and for the remaining
period it visited firms and organisations which included a co-operative
Survey from 4th June to 5th July at the Finsbury Health Centre by kind
permission of the Public Health Committee of the Borough of Finsbury.
Prior to this Campaign, firms in Finsbury were circulated with particular
concentration upon firms in the northern part of the Borough,as
firms in the southern section are conveniently situated to the Mass
Radiography Centre at Golden Lane. Also in this campaign firms in the
Ludgate Circus area were circulated as there are direct transport facilities
to the Health Centre.
Besides the planned Sessions there were also Sessions at which no
appointments were necessary but these were not so well attended as the
organised Sessions even when it is appreciated that a number of firms
sent their staffs during these Sessions. Handbills were distributed
drawing attention to the Public Sessions.

General Practitioners have continued to use the services of the Unit
so far as their patients are concerned.
Anyone desirous of information on the Mass Radiography Service
