Home Visitation.—The Tuberculosis Officer made 17
visits to homes of patients for the purpose of examination
and investigation of the home conditions.
The Health Visitors visit cases of tuberculosis on notification,
and thereafter as far as possible at intervals of six
months or less, as may appear advisable. During the year
2,209 such visits were made.
During the year 61 definite cases were transferred from
other areas into the Borough and 66 moved out or were
lost sight of. Five were written off the register as being
cured.
