SHOREDITCH TUBERCULOSIS CARE COMMITTEE.
Miss E. Church, Secretary of the Care Committee, resigned in January, 1934,
and Miss G. B. Woolsey, B.A., was appointed in her place and took up her duties
in March, 1934.
The following is the annual report of the Tuberculosis Care Committee:—
The year has been an important one for Tuberculosis Care Committees in the
London area in that on 10th July, the London County Council decided that "no
contributions towards the cost of the residential treatment of tuberculosis ... or
towards the cost of the boarding-out of children ... be asked for from patients
or persons legally responsible for them." We should like to express our appreciation
of this step which has relieved the patient of one of the difficulties which arise as a
result of his illness and has thus facilitated the work of the Care Committee in
dealing with the other problems.
