"Notification of Infectious Disease" has been compulsory in the District since October 31st, 1889. The Isolation Hospitals are the Hospitals of the
Metropolitan Asylums Board, and occasionally the London Fever Hospital and the London Small-pox Hospital.
Cases of Diphtheria and Enteric (Typhoid) Fever are also received into St. George's Hospital.
