CRAYFORD TUBERCULOSIS CARE COMMITTEE.
The Crayford Tuberculosis Care Committee in association
with the Kent Council of Social Service has continued to
function during the year. The number of cases assisted was
29, including 12 new cases. Clothing, coal supplies and fares
to visit relatives in Sanatoria had once again formed the bulk
of the assistance given by the Committee. This number was,
once again lower than last year.
Occupational Therapy continues to progress satisfactorily,
and it was felt that this aspect of the Committee's work
was well worthwhile.
