x. Supply of Insulin to Persons Suffering from Diabetes.
In May, 1930, the Council agreed to supply Insulin to diabetic patients who
were necessitious and unable to obtain it under the National Health Insurance Acts,
and obtained the Ministry's approval. A continuing approval was obtained in 1931
and 1932.
A supply of Insulin was given under this scheme to seven patients during the
year, the total cost being £33 8s. Od.
Insulin is supplied to medical practitioners under the following conditions :—
(1) The application must state the name, age, address, and sex of the patient
for whom it is required.
(2) A quarterly report must be furnished in respect of each patient treated,
giving the following information:—
(a) The number of doses of Insulin administered;
(b) Stating whether any tests were made of the urine or of the blood of
the patient, and, if so, by whom and with what results;
(c) A report on the progress of the patient.
