[Report of the Medical Officer of Health for Romford]

Unfortunately we have lost the services of Mrs. Morrissey,
one of our tuberculosis Visitors, who had to leave us for domestic
reasons, and Mrs. Marshall now carries out all the tuberculosis
visiting duties required for Harold Hill. This now includes the
domiciliary visiting of patients attending the Chest Clinic with
complaints other than tuberculosis, and in view of the fact that
she is doing this alone, this is being kept down as much as possible.
Otherwise, the trend mentioned in the last Tuberculosis Report
continues, with further increases in the number of non-tuberculous
cases being referred to the Chest Clinic.
Great help is still being received from the Tuberculosis Care
Association which provides many facilities for the tuberculous
which are not provided for by other means.
