Provision of Extra Nourishment.
On the recommendation of the Public Health Committee, the
Council, on 23rd November, resolved to allocate the sum of £30 for
the remainder of the current financial year for the purpose of providing
extra nourishment (milk, eggs and butter) to the classes of
patients indicated in Circular 257 of the Ministry of Health.
The Municipal Tuberculosis Dispensary.
The Dispensary is housed in, and forms part of, the King Edward
VII Memorial (Hampstead Health Institute), situated at the junction
of Kingsgate and Dynham Roads.
The Dispensary is open at the following times:—
Tuesdays, 2 p.m.
Wednesdays, 5 p.m.
Fridays, 4.30 and 8 p.m.
During the year, 199 sessions were held, and 260 new cases (of
which 62 were contacts) were examined. The total attendances of all
kinds numbered 1,203; an average of 61 per session.
The Borough is particularly fortunate in having the services of
A. J. Scott-Pinchin, M.D.(Lond.), F.R.C.P.(Lond.), as Tuberculosis
Medical Officer and Assistant Medical Officer of Health for Tuberculosis
Work, and whose report for the year 1933, I append herewith.
