Treatment of Tuberculosis.
Tuberculosis Dispensaries.—The Council's scheme for the dispensary treatment
of tuberculosis is as follows:—
The part of the borough lying north of Euston Road (viz.: Ward 1-6,
comprising a population of 173,132) is served by the approved tuberculosis
dispensary at the St. Pancras Dispensary, 39, Oakley Square,
N.W., together with a branch of this dispensary at 132, Maiden
Road, N.W. (this branch was opened in December, 1915, and has
been since approved by the Local Government Board). A full-time
tuberculosis officer and visiting nurse are attached to these dispensaries.
Annual payment is to be made by the Council to the St.
Pancras Dispensary for these services of £564 in respect of noninsured
persons, and £250 in respect of insured persons.
The part of the borough lying south of Euston Road (viz. : Wards 7 and
8, comprising a population of 45,255) is served by the approved
tuberculosis dispensary at University College Hospital, Gower Street,
W.C., which also serves all the borough of Holborn. A full-time
tuberculosis officer and a visiting nurse are attached to the dispensary.
Annual payment is to be made by the Council to the hospital
for these services to St. Pancras persons of £200 in respect of roninsured
persons, and £100 in respect of insured persons.
Of the grants in respect of non-insured persons, one half is to be repaid
to the Council by the Local Government Board and one quarter
by the London County Council, while the whole of the grants in
respect of insured persons are to be repaid by the London Insurance
Committee.
The scheme was approved during 1915 by the Local Government Board,
the London County Council, and the London Insurance Committee, and draft
agreements were made between the Council on the one hand and the London
Insurance Committee, the St. Pancras Dispensary and University College
Hospital on the other. These agreements, however, had not been executed by
the end of the year.
