19.
Medical Procedure The unit has continued its procedure of referring
abnormal cases to the appropriate Chest Clinic via the
examinee's own doctor. Clinics have recorded their sputum findings and
fourteen cases with a positive sputum have been reported of which thirteen
were male and one female.
Conclusion Throughout the year friendly and helpful relationships have existed
between the Unit and Dr. J. Greenwood Wilson, Medical Officer of
Health for the City of London, the Medical Officers of Health for the Boroughs
of Finsbury and Shoreditch and the Divisional Medical Officers of Divisions 3, 4
and 5.
Grateful acknowledgment must be made to Dr. Neville C. Oswald,
Dr. Graham Hayward and their colleagues at St. Bartholomew's Hospital for
their helpfulness over cases outside the scope of a Chest Clinic; to the
Central Group Hospital Management Committee and the Regional Hospital Board
for their willing assistance at all times; and finally to all members of the
Unit staff for their loyalty and support.
