Medical Arrangements for Long-Stay Immigrants
During the year advice notes were received from various
Port Health Authorities in respect of 77 immigrants who were
said to be proceeding to addresses in the Borough, a decrease of
21 on last year.
In 42 cases successful contact was made and appropriate
advice given on health matters. The difference in numbers is
mainly due either to the immigrant not being known at the address
given or the destination is a local hospital or Doctor's residence
and therefore not requiring a visit by us to explain the National
Health Service.
