If, in the opinion of the Trustees, the Governing Body fails to
secure the fulfilment of the Trust as a voluntary undertaking, the freehold premises of the Trust revert to the Hampstead Borough
Council.
The Borough Council has voted the annual sum of £750 for the
maintenance of the Dispensary ; but the greater part of this amount
will be refunded by the Government, the London County Insurance
Committee, and the London County Council.
Negotiations have been in progress for some time with the Insurance
Committee respecting the amount of their contribution for the use of
the dispensary, and the services of the Medical Officer of Health and
Tuberculosis Medical Officer in regard to insured persons. The Council
at its meeting on 11th July decided, in communicating on this subject
with the County Insurance Committee, to advert to the suggestion of the
temporary local sub-committee of the Insurance Committee, viz., that
the Borough Council should be offered the sum of £150 per annum by
the County Committee in respect of the before-mentioned services and
facilities (which amount the Public Health Committee recommend should
be accepted as a temporary measure for say one year), but the County
Insurance Committee after consideration decided that they could not sec
their way to offer more than the sum of £100—this amount to apply
only for the twelve months from July, 1913.
An application has also been made to the Government for a grant
in respect of the maintenance of the dispensary, but the amount expected
to be received from this source, and that to be granted by the London
County Council had not been settled at the close of 1913. The Borough
Council will, therefore, be refunded for the major part of its expenditure
on the Tuberculosis Dispensary in the following manner: —
1. The cost of treating "insured" persons will be refunded by the
London County Insurance Committee.
2. After the amount received under No. 1 has been deducted, 50
per cent. of the remainder will be refunded by the Local
Government Board.
3. After deducting the amounts received under No. 1 and No. 2,
the London County Council will pay not more than 50 per
cent. of the balance remaining, i.e., 25 per cent. of the whole
cost (excluding the refund for "insured" persons).
