I submit a report on the work carried out at the Tuberculosis
Dispensary.
Tuberculosis Officer's Report for the Year 1925.
During the year sessions have been held regularly at the
Dispensary for the examination and treatment of patients at
the following times:—
Mondays, 10 a.m. Women and Children.
Tuesdays, 1.30 p.m. School Children.
Tuesdays, 6 p.m. Men.
Thursdays, 6 p.m. Women.
Saturdays, 10 a.m. Schoolchildren.
Special appointments are held daily to suit the convenience
of those who cannot attend at the stated hours and
in cases where the consultation is likely to be a lengthy one.
The notification of fresh cases of Tuberculosis in the
Borough during the year numbered 265, a decrease of 31
as compared with 1924. At the end of 1925 there were 1,280
persons living in the Borough whose names were entered in
the register as suffering with the disease. Some of these had
been notified many years before and had been well and free
from symptoms for years subsequent to notification.
