Considerable help is given to tuberculosis patients and
their dependents by the Kingston and District Tuberculosis
Care Committee. During 1958, 89 families were helped in the
form of grants for extra nourishment, clothing, fuel, removals,
bedding, fares, pocket-money, etc., and a total of
£1,510 was expended from the funds of the Committee on this
work.
An analysis of the total notified cases during 1958 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 past 15 years.
