The times at which these clinics are open will be found on page 9 of
this Report.
The London County Council also provides for doctors, laboratory
facilities to aid diagnosis, the supply of salvarsan and its substitutes, and
courses of instruction in modern methods of diagnosis and treatment. The
County Council further co-ordinates the work of hospitals, public health
services and practitioners, and undertakes publicity and propaganda work
with regard to matters relating to venereal disease.
Though the means for treatment are available, much educational work
remains to be done. Cases not infrequently come to the notice of the
Department in which patients recommended to one of these clinics discontinue
treatment before they are cured, thus running the gravest risk of
disaster to themselves, of infecting their wife or husband and of transmitting
disease to their children.
