The Committee, during the last two months of the year,
organised the machinery for care work and took over the
responsibility of advising the London County Council as to
the assessment of patients for hospital treatment, and the
Borough Council with regard to the provision of additional
nourishment and artificial teeth. These are described officially
as subsidiary work on the part of the Care Committee, but, in
actual fact, they take up a large amount of time to the exclusion
of the proper work of the Committee which is to
look after the social and economic side of the family of the
tuberculous, while the sanitary authority is looking after
the preventive and curative side. The Committee is enthusiastic
and the development of an organised scheme of Care
work can confidently be looked forward to in 1924.
Form " R " (a return as to work carried out in connection
with the Dispensary during the year) is appended.
