absent from duty and only making very slow progress
towards health.
To take the place of Miss Bowen, we were fortunate
in obtaining the services of Mrs. Tremeer as temporary
Tuberculosis Health Visitor—this lady having acted
most efficiently in this capacity on previous occasions.
The Dispensary Caretaker, Mr. Roberts, was absent
from duty through illness from March 31st to September

To facilitate the work of the Dispensary, a new
time-table of sessions was drawn up and, after approval
of the Public Health Committee, came into operation in
June, 1930; the following now being the revised
arrangement:—
Monday. Morning 9.30 to 10.30—Women and infants.
Afternoon 1.45 to 3.0—School-children.
Tuesday. Morning 9.30 to 10.30—Men, old and new
cases; contacts.Evening
6.0 to 8.0—Men and Women, workers,
contacts.
Wednesday. Morning 9.30 to 10.30—Women, old and new
cases; contacts.
Thursday. Afternoon 1.45 to 2.30—Children, new cases,
contacts.
Special appointments can also be made for new cases
to be seen by the Medical Officers, either at home in con-
sulfation, or at the Dispensary at non-session times.
The re-arrangement of the Dispensary rooms carried
out in 1929 has made it possible to have dressing-rooms
for both sexes adjacent to the consulting rooms : and the
new time-table has proved not only practicable on this
account, but very convenient to patients and the Dispensary
Staff. The substitution of two morning sessions
for different sexes instead of one evening one has fully
justified itself in facilitating the attendance of patients
