AFTER CARE.
The Barnes and Richmond Tuberculosis Care Committee
continued to play a most important part in the Surrey County
Council Scheme for the "care and aftercare" of tuberculous patients.
This voluntary Committee spent about <£450 on this work during
the year, although financial help from the County Council amounted
to only £50.
The aim of the Committee is to supplement official help for the
patient and his family, according to his individual needs, and so lessen
the anxieties which hinder recovery.
In addition to many families who have been referred to other
agencies for help, some fifty families in Richmond have received
help in cash or kind during the year from the Committee.
