The average attendances per Session of new cases was 2.8, and of
old cases 10 7.
The children attending Storrnont House School have responded
well to the Open-Air Treatment. Six children attending from this
Dispensary left during the year, and are all in situations and doing
well.
The services of the Invalid Children's Aid Association have
been frequently obtained to get delicate children, and also those
definitely tuberculous, sent to Convalescent Homes, and marked
improvement in their condition has always been observed on their
discharge.
In previous reports the plea for a local Home for advanced
and urgent cases has been brought forward, and the necessity for
such an institution still exists.
Several cases were referred to the various departments of the
Hospital for treatment and diagnosis, and I beg to express my
thanks to the members of the Medical and Surgical Staff for their
kind assistance.
I have also to thank the Medical Officers of Health, Doctors
Kenwood and Dart, fcr much valuable aid in administrative matters.
Matron and the Secretary, Mr. Rutherford, have both contributed
to the smooth working of the Dispensary, and Miss Fellowes,
Secretary-Dispenser, has carried out her work conscientiously and
well; while the Nurses have also performed their duties in a
satisfactory manner.
I am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
L. UNWIN YOUNG,
Medical Tuberculosis Officer.
