Hospital, Sidcup, and cases of bone tuberculosis to the Royal Sea
Bathing Hospital at Margate.
During the year a new scheme for the treatment of suitable cases
in Switzerland was started, and four patients were sent to Sanatoria
at Davos Platz.
As will be seen from the preceding paragraphs, a patient may
be treated in one or several hospitals which may often be at some
distance from his home. The Chest Clinic is the essential link in
the overall treatment and management of the individual case.
By regular visits to the various hospitals and sanatoria, the Chest
Physician not only maintains contact with the patient undergoing
treatment, but also by direct consultation and co-operation with the
Medical Staff concerned, can plan his future treatment and aftercare.
In all this work the co-operation and enthusiasm of the Health
Visitors, Almoner, and Clerical Staff is of paramount importance.

There were 124 new notifications of pulmonary tuberculosis
and 22 of non-pulmonary tuberculosis.
During the year 35 patients were discharged from the Clinic
as recovered cases.
