"Chronic Tuberculosis in Children," (see page 50 of that
report).
82. Disinfection was performed by the Public Health
Department at 146 premises, compared with 169, 165, and
157, in the three preceding years. Of these, 76 were disinfected
after the death of the patient, and 70 after removal to hospital,
sanatorium, or other opportunity.
82a. Sanatorium Treatment. Since the year 1904 the
Council has had an arrangement with Dr. Carling, the Superintendent
and Proprietor of the Maitland Cottage Sanatorium,
Peppard, by which the Council maintains beds at the sanatorium,
paying a fixed charge of 28s. a week for each bed
when occupied, and 20s. a week when unoccupied. Dr. Carling
during the year made arrangements to vest the sanatorium in
trustees, and put it under the control of a Management Committee
appointed by the Governors. The Governors consist
of the trustees, and also of such donors and annual subscribers
as shall give a donation of not less than five guineas, or shall
subscribe not less than one guinea per annum, including public
bodies which maintain beds at the sanatorium. The charge for
treatment was fixed at 30s. a week per patient, but the Committee
has power to make special arrangements as to terms.
The Medical Superintendent is to be appointed by a General
Meeting of the Governors. Dr. Carling will continue to hold
that position. The sanatorium will remain under the general
management of the Medical Superintendent, who will decide
whether any patient is suitable for admission. Your Medical
Officer of Health has been appointed on the Committee of
Management.
