(b) For Infectious Diseases.—No provision has been made
for the home nursing of such cases. During prevalence of such
diseases as Measles and Whooping Cough the Council's Health
Visitors give advice and assistance and the services of an additional
Health Visitor may be called upon if required.
At times, when the available accommodation in the hospitals
for cases of either Measles or Scarlet Fever is insufficient to permit
of the reception of all cases of those diseases, it is necessary for
application to be made to the Medical Officer of Health, who selects
those cases which in his opinion should be admitted to hospital.
