WOMAN INSPECTOR'S REPORT UPON CONSUMPTION.
To the Medical Officer of Health.
Sir,
I submit a report upon the work done during the year 1910 in connection
with the notification of consumption.
A table showing the sources of the notifications received is appended.
The number of persons notified was 515. In the table the number
appears to be slightly larger because in some cases the same person was notified
by more than one medical practitioner.
The scheme arranged for the joint work of the Public Welfare
Association, the St. Pancras Dispensary, and the Municipality has worked
well, and has only been hampered by want of time and money. There has
been no practical difficulty in working the scheme. The visitors have been
well received by the families concerned, and there is every encouragement to
proceed further in co-operation with the many useful Institutions of the
Borough.
