Home Visitation.
The Tuberculosis Officer made 241 visits to homes of
patients for the purpose of examination, and investigation
of the home conditions. In addition he met local practitioners
in consultation at the homes of patients on 130
occasions.
The Nurses visit the tuberculosis population on notification
and thereafter as far as possible at intervals of six
months or less, as may appear advisable. During the
year 4,147 such visits were made.
In addition to the ordinary health visits paid by them,
the Dispensary Nurses submit reports to the London County
Council on the home conditions of patients recommended
for Institutional Treatment.
Dr. G. I. Davies, the Deputy Medical Officer of Health
and Tuberculosis Officer, gave an informal address on the
"Modern Aspects of Tuberculosis" with its early diagnosis
to medical practitioners practising in the Borough.
The meeting was fairly well attended and the address was
followed by questions and a general discussion.
At the conclusion, thanks were accorded to Dr. Davies for
his lecture.
This meeting was arranged to secure the closer co-operation
of medical practitioners in the campaign against tuberculosis.
The Chair was taken by the Medical Officer of Health.
