Co.operation with Hospitals, etc. The arrangements for
X.ray examination for diagnostic purposes and for ultraviolet
ray treatment of certain tuberculous patients were
changed during the year because for the first time facilities
for these special services became available in the Borough
with the opening of the Woolwich War Memorial Hospital.
The Council felt that the claims of Woolwich people for these
services locally were justified and so the Managers of the War
Memorial Hospital were approached and agreements were
entered into on the same terms and conditions as in the past.
Splendid work has been done by the Miller and by the Seamens
hospitals on the Council's behalf for many years, and the
Council instructed the Town Clerk to convey to the respective
Boards the Council's appreciation of this and their regret
that the time had come to terminate so happy and successful
working arrangements. The new agreements operated from
the 1st October, 1928.
In tabular form is show below the extent of co.operation with London hospitals for special purposes.
