WORK OF THE TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY.
The following report has been received from Dr. E. K. Pritchard,
your Clinical Tuberculosis Officer :—
In August, 1937, the Dispensary was transferred from 82, Newington
Causeway, to the ground floor of the Health Services Department.
The improved accommodation and equipment has made it possible to
increase the scope of the work done by the Dispensary, and already there
has been a marked increase in the attendances especially of cases sent to
the Dispensary by their own doctors for an opinion on their chest
condition.
The times for sessions for patients are unchanged and are as
follows:—
Monday
Tuesday 9.30 a.m. to Tuesday 6 to 8 p.m.
Wednesday 12 noon. Thursday
Thursday
Saturday
Monday and Wednesday, 12 noon.—Artificial pneumothorax refills.
Tuesday and Thursday, 6 to 8 p.m.—Artificial pneumothorax refills.
These evening sessions are primarily intended for workers only.
Saturday.—Children and contacts of school age. (Whenever
possible children are seen on Saturdays for the convenience
of the parents, but when necessary can be seen at any of the
other sessions).
