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 27, including
7 new cases Clothing, coal supplies and fares to visit relatives
in Sanatoria had once again formed the bulk of the assistance
riven 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 worthswhile.
