![116 The Barnsley Tuberenlons Ex-Servicemen’s Society con- tinues to llonrish. As its name indicates, employment in various healthy occupations, such as firewood dealing, window cleaning, lawn mowing, and light haulage, for about half a dozen patients is provided. It obtains grants from the Cor- poration, subject to the approval of the Ministry of Health, ])ut is now practically self-supporting. xiv. No new huts or shelters were purchased by the Com- mittee in 1926, as considerable difficulty is found in obtaining suitable sites. In addition to the two huts already at the Sanatoi’ium a further hut has been transferred there, provid- ing accommodation for an additional residential patient. One of the lints in use at home has re(iuired small repairs during the year. No action has been taken under Section 62 of the Public Health Act, 1925, by which infectious persons suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis may be removed to hospital compul- sorily. The following tables are supplied in accordance with the requirements of the Minist’ of Health, Meniorandum 37/T. and which are required to b. kept by all Tuberculosis Officers throughout England. These complicated tables are based upon a systcan of case records of patients attending the Disjiensary. I lu\se records will be transferred from one district to anotliei* if a patient changes his residence or is admitted a residcaitial institution.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28903365_0106.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
