TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY.—TRAINING OF HEALTH VISITORS.
Arrangements have been made that the facilities available at the Tuberculosis Dispensary
shall be placed at the disposal of the College of Nursing, in order that that body can give to
their Health Visitor Students a short course of practical experience in Tuberculosis work
as undertaken by a Tuberculosis nurse. These will doubtless prove of considerable value
in the future training of Health Visitors.

It has not been necessary during the year to take any action in regard to the above.
