COMPULSORY NOTIFICATION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
I received from the Clerk to the London County Council a copy of an Order made
by the Council requiring—for a period of three months as from and including
22nd March, 1911—the notification of cases of Chicken-pox in the administrative
County of London.
By an Order of the Port of London Sanitary Authority, Chicken-pox has been
a notifiable disease within the district of the Port of London since the 3rd November,
1910, and such Order remained in force until the 30th April, 1911. The importance of
this notification lies in the fact that each case of Chicken-pox is seen, and it is ascertained
whether the patient is suffering from a mild form of Small-pox or not.
By an Order of the Port of London Sanitary Authority, Chicken-pox and
Cerebro-Spinal Fever (Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis) and Acute Polio Myelitis
or Acute Polio Encephalitis, were made notifiable for twelve months from January 1st,
1912.
