Considerable help is given to tuberculosis patients and
their dependents by the Kingston and District Tuberculosis
Care Committee. During 1956, 122 families were helped in the
form of grants for extra nourishment, clothing, fuelp removals,,
bedding, fares, pocket-money, etc., and a total of £1,500 was
expended from the funds of the Committee on this work.
An analysis of the total notified cases during 1956 in
age groups is shown on the next page, and the following graph
depicts the numbers of new cases and deaths in respect of
respiratory tuberculosis occurring for the years since 1940.
