These investigations have been carried out by Dr. Currid, Tuberculosis
Officer, Essex County Council, to whom I am greatly indebted for so willingly
undertaking the considerable amount of work entailed and for his most
helpful advice and co-operation.
The Hospital is recognised by the Conjoint Board for Part 2 of the
D.P.H. Regulations of the Board.

the agreed rate of 12s. 6d. per day, plus a charge of 2s. per mile for use of
ambulance.
