London County Council,
County Hall, Spring Gardens,
11th December, 1913.
Sir,
On the 8th ultimo I forwarded for the information of the
Borough Council a copy of a resolution passed by the Council
with reference to the payment of grants out of the County Fund
in relief of the amount which would otherwise fall on the local
rate in respect of the dispensary treatment of uninsured persons
suffering from Tuberculosis.
I am now directed to draw the attention of the Borough
Council to the following resolutions of the Council with regard
to the treatment of tuberculosis in London:-
(a) That any comprehensive scheme for the treatment of
tuberculosis in London shall provide for the undermentioned
principles to be observed in any local scheme which the Council
will approve for the provision of dispensary treatment :—
(i) The Council must be satisfied that the premises
to be utilised as a dispensary are suitable for the purpose.
