It is again noteworthy that 25 deaths occurred from Measles
and Whooping Cough as against 9 from Scarlet Fever. Diphtheria
and Typhoid Fever, and I would again point out the importance of
making provision for the isolation and treatment of cases of the two
former diseases.
During the year, the Health Committee have had under consideration
the steps to be taken in connection with the Notification
of Consumption, which has now been made compulsory by
Older of the Local Government Board, and the advisability of
establishing a Tuberculosis Dispensary. The matter was still
under consideration at the end of the year.
I would take this opportunity of thanking the Chairman and
members of the Health Committee for the encouragement and
support they have given me in the performance of my duties
during the year.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
GEORGE F. BUCHAN,
Medical Officer of Health.
