GENERAL PROVISION OF HEALTH SERVICES FOR
THE AREA.
Hospitals provided or subsidised by the Local Authority or
by the County Council.
a. (1) Fever.
Rush Green Isolation Hospital is maintained by the Romford
Joint Hospital Board, which consists of representatives of the Urban
District Councils of Dagenham, Hornchurch and Romford, and the
Rural District Council of Romford.
Owing to the prevalence of Scarlet Fever in the latter part
of the year the accommodation at the Isolation Hospital proved
insufficient to meet the demands. A number of urgent cases were
admitted to other hospitals, but many cases had to remain at home.
(2) Smallpox.
The Joint Hospital Board has an arrangement with Orsett
Hospital Authorities for the admission of Smallpox cases to their
hospital.
b. Tuberculosis.
For the table of hospitals and institutions into which local
cases might, through the Essex County Council, be admitted, see
page 13 of Annual Report, 1931.
