The control of Tuberculosis is divided between the County Council and
this Authority. The County Council are responsible for the sanatorium treatment

Tuberculosis Clinic at The Broadway, West Hendon, at which their Specialist
Officer attends on Friday mornings.

of cases who have ceased from one cause or another to avail themselves of
the facilities provided by the County Council.
