TUBERCULOSIS.
On 8th July, 1930, the Minister of Health issued the Public
Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1930, which consolidate and
amend the Public Health (Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1912, 1921
and 1924. Among the amendments to the earlier Regulations are
provisions to secure (a) the notification of a case of tuberculosis
unless the practitioner in attendance on the patient has reasonable
grounds for believing that it has already been notified to the
Medical Officer of Health of the same sanitary district, and (b) more
effective revision of the Register of Notifications kept by the
Medical Officer of Health.
