In common with other districts an outbreak of Dysentery

Measles.
First cases of Measles were made compulsorily notifiable
by the Chislehurst and Sidcup Urban (Measles) Regulations,
dated the 15th April, 1935, which came into force on the 15th
May, 1935.
A large decrease in the number of cases notified during the
year took place, there being 24 cases as compared with 745
last year.
Arrangements are in force for home nursing of Measles,
where required, and for the removal to hospital of such cases
where the condition of the patient renders it desirable.
I am pleased to report that no deaths were registered as
occurring from Measles.
