PUBLIC HEALTH (TUBERCULOSIS) REGULATIONS, 1930.
These Regulations, which came into force on the 1st January,
1931, require, inter alia, that a weekly Return of all notified
cases shall be sent to the County Medical Officer of Health;
also that every Medical Officer of Health shall furnish the
County Medical Officer of Health with a quarterly return and
a statement showing:—
(a) The number of cases of Tuberculosis on his register at
the commencement of each quarter;
(b) The number of cases notified to him for the first time
during the quarter;
(c) The number of cases removed from the register in a
preceding quarter which have been restored to the
register, giving the name and address of each case and
the reason for the restoration.
(d) The number of cases added to the register during the
quarter which have been brought to his knowledge
other than by notification;
(c) The number of cases removed from his register during
the quarter, giving the name of each case and the reason
for removal;
(f) The number of cases remaining on the register at the
end of the quarter.
Previously a large part of this statement was required
under the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1924.
The following Table shows the number of cases on the register at the end of each quarter since the District was constituted:—
