Ministry.
SMALLPOX ACCOMMODATION.
The County Council is responsible for the provision of
hospital acccommodation for cases of Smallpox occurring in
this district, and cases that occur are sent to the Dartford
Smallpox Hospital. I have visited this Hospital and am
satisfied that arrangements there are of the best.
TUBERCULOSIS.
Patients from Wembley are sent to the Sanatoria
Accommodation provided by the Middlesex County Council
at Harefield and South Mimms; in addition, cases are sent
from time to time to the County Tuberculosis Hospital,
Isleworth; St. Anthony's Hospital, Cheam; King- Edward
VII Hospital, Midhurst; and Brompton Hospital. The
Middlesex County Council provide a Tuberculosis Dispensary
at Pound Lane, Willesden, and also one at Greenhill Crescent,
Harrow.
ACCOMMODATION FOR MATERNITY CASES.
The Council have arrangements for the admission of
maternity cases to the Redhill County Hospital, Edgware,
and Queen Charlotte's Hospital, London. Cases are also
admitted to the various London hospitals, and to private
nursing homes. You have arranged to grant a subsidy in
necessitous cases.
