Dear Sir,
Adverting to my letter of the 11th ultimo, to which I have
received no reply, I am this morning in receipt of yours of the 10th
instant enclosing a supply of Forms A and B. In order to save
time, I shall be glad to hear from you what particular cases, at the
present time, of uninsured persons, would be eligible for partaking
of the benefits of the Council's scheme.
I have an extract before me of the Minutes of the London County
Council of 26th May, 1914, giving the reports of the Public Health
Committee for 30th April, and 7th and 21st May. On page 8, I notice
"Selection of Cases," and I shall be much obliged if you will inform
me whether there has been any further report of your Public Health
Committee, or whether a memorandum has been issued as to the type
of case suitable for the various forms of institutional treatment.
I presume that these forms will also refer to patients who have
exhausted their Insurance benefits.
Yours faithfully,
(Sgd.) Fredk. Wm. Alexander,
Medical Officer of Health.

" Dear Dr. Alexander,
With reference to your letter of the 11th inst., I have to say that
the Advisory Board, which it is contemplated under the Scheme of
the Council will specify the type of case for sanatorium treatment,
has not yet been appointed.
In the meantime, borough medical officers of health are invited
to nominate persons who, from the particulars set out on forms A.
and B. appear to be suitable for sanatorium treatment, and to forward
the papers to this office. Such cases will then be considered on their
f
