18. CHEST CLINICS
This Borough is served by two Chest Clinics. The major part, which comprises
the former Ealing and Acton area, is within the catchment area of Ealing Chest
Clinic, situated in Green Man Passage, W.13. The Southall area is catered for by
the Uxbridge Chest Clinic, which is situated in High Street, Uxbridge.
The local authority is directly responsible for the welfare work of the chest clinic
and, although the chest physician is employed by the Regional Hospital Board, part
of his salary is paid by the Council. The staff employed by the Council include the
welfare officer, the tuberculosis visitors, an occupational therapist and a clerk.
