The ratio between non-notified and the total tuberculosis
deaths, as will be seen from the table shown above, is therefore
as one is to six.
Co-operation with Hospital and School Clinic. The existing
agreements with the Seamen's Hospital, Greenwich, and with
the London Hospital for X-Ray examination of difficult
cases, and for the treatment of lupus, respectively, have been
continued, and arrangements were concluded whereby patients
requiring artificial pneumo-thorax could receive treatment
at the Brompton Hospital. Co-operation between the School
Medical Service and the School Clinic, Brewer Street, continued
to work satisfactorily, and there is little doubt but
that the preventive work done by this service is very largely
responsible for the striking decrease in the number of patients
who present themselves with tuberculous glands.
Co-operation with Medical Practitioners. Harmonious relations
continue to exist between the Dispensary and the
Medical Practitioners in the Borough. During the year, the
Tuberculosis Officer saw 72 cases in consultation at the homes
of the patients, and 227 cases were referred to him at the
Dispensary for the purpose of diagnosis.
