TUBERCULOSIS.
This section of the report deals with the work of the
Department under the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations,
1912, and under the Dispensary Scheme as approved
by the Ministry of Health and the London County Council,
who contribute 50 per cent. and 25 per cent. respectively of
the net expenditure of the scheme.
Staff. The staff of the Dispensary consists of one wholetime
Tuberculosis Officer, one half-time Assistant Medical
Officer, three Tuberculosis Visitors, one Clerk Dispenser, and
one Lay Organiser, who also acts as Secretary of the Care
Committee.
Post-Graduate Course. In December one of the Tuberculosis
Visitors attended the seventh Winter School organised
by the Women Sanitary Inspectors' and Health Visitors'
Association. The course extended over two weeks. This
is the second occasion on which a Tuberculosis Nurse has
attended one of these refresher courses and experience has
shown that such courses are for the good of the service.
