AFTER CARE.
The Barnes and Richmond Tuberculosis Care Committee continued
their important part in the Surrey County Council Scheme
for the "care and after care" of tuberculous patients.
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.
