Tuberculosis Dispensary.
The Tuberculosis Dispensary is provided and maintained
by the Kent County Council. Sessions are held
weekly, on Wednesdays, at 2, Park Road, Bromley,
commencing at 1.30 p.m. The Corporation provides a
Nurse for attendance at the Dispensary from the Health
Visiting staff, who also carries out the home visiting of
patients. In a later part of this report the work of the
Dispensary is briefly reported on by the Tuberculosis
Officer, Dr. W. B. Martin.
Venereal Diseases Treatment Centres.
Provision for this treatment is under the administration
of the Kent County Council. There is no centre
in the Borough. The close proximity to London, where
there are ample facilities available at the various London
Hospitals, provides an adequate and convenient service
for such cases.
