12. VENEREAL DISEASE.
Venereal Disease is treated at the Country Hospital,
Oldchurch, and at other general hospitals, particularly the
clinic in Turner Street (London Hospital).
Your officers have not noted any significant increase
in Venereal Disease during the war period, but, of course, they
deal only with that section of the public covered by the services
shown in this report.
13. GENERAL.
I Was recently asked to go to Chelmsford to meet the
Standing Committee of medical men which deals with epidemics,
which shows that we are alive to such problems.
Since the war we have been relatively free from
epidemic diseases throughout the whole country, Barking having
shared this favourable national position, the amount of infectious
diseases in Barking comparing not unfavourably with other parts
of the Country.
