There have been 6 consultations with doctors in regard to patients
at their homes.
82 letters have been sent to 32 doctors concerning cases referred
for an opinion.
I have made visits to the homes of patients in relation to 16 cases
and occasional visits to New End Hospital in connection with tuberculous
patients, when there have been any at that Institution.
Of the cases under treatment:—
36 were referred to the London County Council for treatment
in sanatoria and hospitals.
10 were admitted to New End Hospital.
3 were admitted to Victoria Park Hospital.
4 were admitted to the Hampstead General Hospital.
3 were referred to the Out-patient Department of the
Hampstead General Hospital.
The number of notifications has decreased, the total being 94—74
pulmonary and 20 non-pulmonary.
The primary notifications were 15 less than last year, but the
relative proportion of non-pulmonary cases was higher than usual.
Of the total primary notifications:—
38 attended the Dispensary during the year.
14 cases were not of Dispensary class.
52 cases were notified from Hospitals or Sanatoria; this figure
shews a steady increase; many of these are still attending their
hospital of origin or are still in sanatoria.
14 were domestic servants.
25 cases were transferred from other boroughs. Of these, 15
attended the Dispensary, 3 died during the year and 6 removed again,
thus 36 per cent. of the total were purely transitory.
16 of the primary cases notified died during the year only 4 of
which had attended the Dispensary. 10 of the deaths occurred in
hospital and 6 at home.
A total of 40 deaths occurred during 1932, a decrease of 8.
Only 16 of these were Dispensary patients and 8 were nonpulmonary
cases.
