The other Boroughs accept a notification from any registered practitioner
without it.
Restriction of Notification.
All Boroughs save two, admit notifications only when referring to
Tubercle of the Lungs, the other two admit Tubercle elsewhere.
Notice of Disinfection.
In most cases an Inspector calls and endeavours to arrange for disinfection
with the friends of the patient or landlord.
In nine Boroughs, notice of disinfection is sent.
In two Boroughs, the Medical Officer of Health visits, and requests facilities
for disinfection, and impresses the necessity of the measure.
In one Borough, a Health visitor calls, and asks for permission to have it
done.
Source of Payment.
Chiefly Borough or District Funds, including the Borough and General
Rates.
In one Borough, the payment is made from the " Sanitary Rate," and in
another there is no payment, as there are no funds out of which the Local
Authority can pay the fees—the consequence is that in this Borough there are
no notifications.
