The nursing homes in Wimbledon were again found to be maintained
and run in a satisfactory manner. Close supervision was paid
during the visits to the way in which the records of the homes were
kept, that proper attention was being paid to fire precautions, and the
Council's byelaws were being complied with.
MASS RADIOGRAPHY.
The Mass Radiography Unit of the South West Metropolitan
Regional Hospital Board paid its annual visit to Wimbledon during the
year, being stationed at the T.A. Centre, St. George's Road, from 23rd
to 25th April and at the A.T.C. Centre, Merton Road, from 29th April
to 14th May. As in previous years facilities were offered to all persons
over the age of 15 years for x-ray examination of the chest. This
examination is of great value in the early diagnosis and treatment of
pulmonary tuberculosis and other non-tuberculous abnormalities.
I am indebted to the Medical Director of the Mass Radiography
Unit for the following details of persons who attended for examination.
As the facilities were available to all, and were used by persons coming
from a wide area, the statistics do not necessarily relate to Wimbledon
residents only.
