Tuberculosis Dispensary.
The Tuberculosis Dispensary is provided and maintained
by the Kent County Council. The Tuberculosis
Officer in charge of District No. 7, which includes
Dispensaries at Bromley and Penge, is Dr. B. G. A.
Edelston. The districts covered by these two dispensaries
are, Bromley, Beckenham, Penge, Anerley, parts of
Sydenham and Upper Norwood, Orpington, Chislehurst
and Sidcup. The Dispensary for Bromley is held at 2,
Park Road, on Wednesdays, from 1.30 to 3.30 p.m., and
on Fridays from 5.0 to 6.0 p.m. The Corporation provides
a nurse for attendance at the Dispensary from the Health
Visiting staff for the Wednesday dispensary, the Health
Visitors carrying out home visiting of patients.
The work of the Dispensary is briefly reported on by
the Tuberculosis Officer, and appears in a later part of
this report.
Venereal Diseases Treatment Centres.
Provision for treatment is under the administration
of the Kent County Council. There is no centre in the
Borough. The close proximity of London, where there
are ample facilities available at the various London
Hospitals, provides an adequate and convenient service
for such cases.
