No action was taken under the Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis)
Regulations, 1925, or under Section 172 of the Public Health Act,
1936.
The Council adopted a points scheme for deciding the order of priority
of applicants for housing accommodation. Special "weighting" is provided
under this scheme where the existence of tuberculosis in the household
creates a risk of infection. One tuberculous family was rehoused by the
Council in 1958.
