HEALTH SERVICES UNDER COUNTY ADMINISTRATION.
(a) Tuberculosis Dispensary. The County Council hold a
clinic twice weekly at 2, Park Road, Bromley. These premises
are grossly inadequate and unsuitable for their purpose and
have on more than one occasion been the subject of adverse
report. The staff liaison and co-operation has been all that we
would wish.
(b) Venereal Diseases Treatment. We are, because of the
location of Bromley, dependent upon the London Hospitals for
the treatment of venereal disease, but as this disease is not
apparent in Bromley very few cases come to our knowledge.
Those cases that do come to our notice readily receive the
necessary treatment through London Hospitals which provide
the specialist treatment.
The County Council is the responsible Authority for the
provision of treatment of venereal diseases.
HOSPITALS, PUBLIC AND VOLUNTARY.
Isolation and Treatment of Infectious Disease.—There is
one Isolation Hospital for general infectious diseases and one for
