Out of the total number of 54 deaths from Tuberculosis, 5
or 9.2 %) were of cases which were unnotified previous to death, as
compared with 22.4 % of unnotified cases the previous year.
If from the death returns it is noted that there has been failure
to notify, an enquiry is sent to the practitioner as to the reason for
non-notification.
In the majority of cases the practitioner was under the impression
that the case had been previously notified.
During the year there was no evidence of any wilful neglect
of the regulations on the part of the certifying practitioners.
TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY.
The following report on the work of the Dispensary, so far as
it concerns Stoke Newington patients, has been furnished by Dr.
F. W. Hamilton, the Clinical Tuberculosis Officer:
To the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors of the Metropolitan Borough
of Stoke Newington.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit the report for the year 1932. It has again
been found unnecessary to make any radical alteration from the
routine previously adopted at the Dispensary, and the hours of
attendance and general arrangements have remained unchanged.
