Mass X-Ray.
No full-scale mass X-ray survey was undertaken in the area
during 1962.
Chislehurst and Sidcup Voluntary Tuberculosis Care Committee.
I am indebted to the Liaison Officer of the above Committee
for the following information:—
"The work of the Committee continued more or less in the way
it has operated for some years past, by assisting many families
with fuel, hire purchase debts, fares to visit patients, clothing, footwear,
etc., and for several families holidays were provided. The
closest liaison is maintained with all statutory bodies, and the
W.V.S. are more than helpful. The office at the United Services
Club, 108 Main Road, Sidcup, is open every Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., and regular home visits
are also paid to many patients and their families."

No cases were notified during 1962.
Whooping Cough.
Only five cases were reported as compared with 48 in the previous
year. None of these were removed to hospital and no deaths
were recorded.

Other Infectious Diseases.
In addition to those mentioned previously in this report, notifications
were received as under:—
