Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925.
These Regulations provide that no person suffering from tuberculosis
of the respiratory tract shall work in connection with a dairy
which would involve milking, treatment of milk, or handling milk
vessels, and if a local authority is satisfied that a person residing in
their district working in any such occupation is so suffering and is
in an infectious state, they may require such person to discontinue
his occupation.
No case arose during the year in which action was taken under the
Regulations.
Separate Beds and Shelter for Tuberculous Patients.
The Borough Council will supply a shelter to any suitable case
where there is accommodation for the erection of such. It was not
used in 1927.
In pursuance of the authority contained in the Public Health
(Prevention and Treatment of Disease) Act, 1913, the Borough Council
also supply on loan single beds and bedding in order to effect the separation
of infectious cases of tuberculosis. The usual practice is to arrange
for the double bed previously used to be sold, and a single bed to
be provided in lieu thereof. Thus, by the Council loaning separate
beds, two single beds are provided instead of one double bed. The
Council have purchased and loan out six beds and sets of bedding.
