iraver,stock Ilill. These buildings are entirely separated from the
Hospital; they were formerly erected as a small out-patient department,
but were found unnecessary and had never been used, and they constitute
an ideal arrangement. The dispensary was opened on February
1st, l'J13, a date which synchronized with the commencement of the
new tuberculosis regulations.
On 6th December, the premises at the Health Institute being ready
for use, the Dispensary was removed there from its temporary quarters.
Reference was made in my last Report to the steps that were taken
in securing the establishment of the Health Institute, which is now
managed by a Governing Body who arc the successors of the Coronation
and Commemoration Committee. That Committee made application,
through the Borough Council, to the Government for a grant towards
the Building Fund or Capital Expenses, and towards the equipment of
the Tuberculous Dispensary, and the Local Government Board, on 24th
April, wrote to the Borough Council stating that the Treasury had
consented to the proposed capital grant of £30U in aid of the provision
of a Tuberculosis Dispensary at Grcville House, which has been
re-arranged for the purposes of the Health Institute and the Tuberculosis
Dispensary.
The following are the terms of the Council's tenancy of that part
of the Institute reserved for the Dispensary :—
That the Tuberculosis Dispensary and its premises (tinted pink on
the plan) shall be under the sole management and control of
the Borough Council.
That the Borough Council shall pay a rent of £45 per annum on a
live years' agreement, giving the Borough Council an option
for a further term of five years under the following
conditions: —
(i) The Health Institute shall put the dispensary premises
in a condition of full, substantial and decorative repair,
and in a condition suitable for use as a Tuberculosis
Dispensary; and shall instal electric light and
adequate means of heating.
(ii) The Health Institute shall be responsible for all
structural repairs and for all external repairs aud
decorations.
