The management of the Dispensary is vested in an Executive
Committee of six members, of whom two are representatives
appointed by the Borough Council and one is the Medical Officer
of Health for the Borough as an ex officio member, and during
the operation of the agreement with the Dispensary Committee,
such proportionate representation of the Borough Council shall
be continued, and if the number of members of the Dispensary
Committee be at any time enlarged, the Council shall thereupon
be entitled to appoint additional representatives in equal proportion.
The Medical Officer of Health of the Borough for the time
being shall at all times be an ex officio member of the Dispensary
Committee.
Separate accounts shall be kept by the Dispensary Committee
of such portion of their expenditure as the Borough Council
would be legally entitled to incur in the case of a dispensary
established and maintained by the Council.
Subject to observance by the Dispensary Committee of the
conditions of the agreement, the Borough Council will pay to the
Dispensary Committee a sum at the rate of one thousand two
hundred pounds per annum, in four quarterly instalments, during
the year ending 31st March, 1915, and thereafter from year to
year, provided the total payments by the Council to the Dispensary
Committee shall in no year exceed a sum equal to fifty per cent.
of the total expenditure of the Dispensary Committee for such
year.
The agreement between the Poplar Borough Council and
the Dispensary Committee shall remain in operation until determined
by either of the parties thereto giving to the other six
calendar months' notice to terminate such agreement.
Summary of proposed agreement with the London Hospital—
The Medical Officer of the Dispensary shall, when necessary
refer non-pulmonary cases of tuberculosis to the London Hospital
for consultation or operation, including cases of glandular, bone,
joint or skin cases, tabes mesenterica, tuberculosis of the organs
(such as liver, spleen, kidneys and testicle), tubercular meningitis,
hydro-thorax and empyema, and such other cases whether
pulmonary or non-pulmonary as he may deem desirable, and
the Hospital Committee agree that any cases so referred shall
be treated as may be necessary as special cases for consultative
purposes, and not as ordinary out-patients at the London Hospital.
The first 25 of such cases in any year will be treated free of
charge, a capitation fee of 2s. 6d. per case to be paid for additional
cases.
