University College Hospital,
London, W.C.I.

Dear Sir,
In reply to your letter of the 17th instant, I beg to suggest, for the consideration of your
Council, a weekly payment of £3 3s. 0d., in respect of patients suffering from Cancer referred by
you for treatment at University College Hospital.
This is considerably below the actual cost to the Hospital, but is in accordance with the rate
paid by public authorities in respect of Tuberculosis patients.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) J. Bucki.e,
Secretary.

Treatment of Cancer.
Your letter of the 13th March has been considered by the Medical Committee, and in reply

with any cases of Cancer which may be referred there by the Willesden Urban District Council, either
for diagnostic or treatment purposes or both.
The average total cost of each out-patient is approximately 6s., whilst the cost of maintenance
of an in-patient at the Hospital is £3 13s. 6d. a week.

diagnosis or treatment, can be dealt with in our Out-patient or In-patient Departments, but we
should not, of course, give them preferential treatment

and all cases should be sent at this time except cases of Carcinoma of Cervix, which are seen by the
Gynaecological Surgeon on Mondays or Wednesdays at 9.30 a.m., and cases of Cancer of the Throat,
which are seen by the Throat Specialist on Tuesdays and Fridays at 9.30 a.m.

Dear Sir,
Cancer.
With reference to your letter of the 14th ultimo, I am pleased to inform you that the House
Committee, at their meeting yesterday, upon the recommendation of the Medical School Committee,
decided that cases of Cancer referred to this Hospital by yourself be received for treatment or diagnosis,
as desired, subject to the accommodation being available.
I shall be glad to know what amount your Council will be prepared to make towards the cost
of the maintenance of these patients before arrangements are definitely approved.
Yours faithfully,
