22 Hospital Administration.
(6) That the Medical Practitioner from time to time inform the
Medical Officer of Health of the Sanitary District in which the
patient resides, of any circumstances known to the Medical
Practitioner which may effect adversely the sanitary conditions
under which the patient is living, and in respect to which action by
the Medical Officer of Health or of the Sanitary Authority would,
in the opinion of the Medical Practitioner, be necessary or
desirable.
Note.—There is no evidence to hand that the private
Practitioners in this district are carrying out these regulations,
unless they have reported directly to the County Insurance Committee
at Kingston.
I would also earnestly press for the earliest notification of
Tuberculosis. Postmortem notification is of little use.
