The efficiency of notification has been good and there is no
reason to suspect refusal or neglect to notify.
Throughout the year no action became necessary under the Public
Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations 1925, or Section 172
of the Public Health Act, 1936. These regulations respectively relate
to the restriction of tuberculosis sufferers from employment in the
handling of milk, and the compulsory removal to hospital in certain
circumstances of persons suffering from tuberculosis.
Considerable help is given to tuberculosis and other chest disease
patients and their dependants by the Kingston and District Care Committee
for Tuberculosis and Other Chest Diseases.
