Recommendations.
In order to meet the requirements of the Public Health (Tuberculosis)
Regulations, 1908, the Public Health (Tuberculosis in
Hospitals) Regulations, 1911, and the Public Health (Tuberculosis)
Regulations, 1911, I beg to recommend the Borough Council—
1.—To establish a Tuberculosis Dispensary in some central
position in the Borough to be established and maintained from
the rates with such pecuniary help as may be obtained under
the Insurance Act, 1911, to be conducted on the same lines as
similar institutions established in other Metropolitan Boroughs.
(2) To retain half-a-dozen beds as a commencement in
certain suitable Sanatoria.
(3) To make arrangements for the supply of portable
shelters when necessary for the use of suitable cases of Pulmonary
Tuberculosis.
(4) Until a Tuberculosis Dispensary is established, to
arrange with certain Hospitals in the Metropolis for Diseases
of the Lungs for the treatment of such children, as are notified
to be suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis by the School
Medical Inspectors.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. KING-WARRY, M.D., M.R.C.P., D.P.H.,
Medical Officer of Health.
