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.
During 1963, 115 families within the area covered by the Committee
were helped in the form of grants for extra nourishment, clothing, fuel,
removals, bedding, fares, pocket-money, etc., and a total of £2,188. was
expended from the funds of the Committee on this work.
An analysis of the total notified cases during 1963 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.
