Mr. Lough, Clerk to the Guardians, has been good enough to
furnish me with the following information for the year 1902:—
No parish medical order was issued for the Council Buildings,
Yabsley Street, but 8 were given for Hanbury Buildings, King Street.
So far as Grosvenor Buildings are concerned, 16 Dispensary
medical orders, and 23 orders for the Medical Officer to see patients
at their own homes were issued. There were also on the permanent
medical relief list 21 persons residing in the Buildings who were
entitled to apply for medical attendance at any time.
The following figures are number of parish medical orders issued
during the respective years:—
