Area Served
The official catchment area of the Edgware Chest Clinic includes the whole of
the Borough of Hendon and the Edgware, Stanmore, Queensbury and Kingsbury areas of
the Boroughs of Harrow and Wembley. In fact, however, many patients whose homes are
outside the area are referred by their medical practitioners for an opinion. The
Middlesex County Council appoint Health Visitors and Welfare staff whose work is based
on the chest clinic, dealing primarily with the catchment area.
Liaison
Close liaison is maintained with the Health Department of the Middlesex County
Council - in particular with the Area Medical Officers and their staffs and the
School Medical Service. Co-operation between the medical staff of the clinic and the
Medical Officers of Health of the Boroughs of Harrow, Hendon & Wembley is necessary
and is maintained. The Welfare Department of the clinic maintains touch with a
number of statutory and voluntary organisations such as the Employment Exchanges of
the Ministry of Labour, the local officers of the National Assistance Board and
