![As in previous years, Health Education has been propagated at clinics, schools and exhibitions. Re-housing of tuberculous patients has been given priority by the majority of authorities and the routine X-ray examination of those coming into contact with the children has been the acce])ted policy. District Nurses and Home Helps have continued to attend patients in their own homes, louring the year, 168 patients received additional nutriments, bedding and comforts. Mainly, ]:)atients are given milk, and a few have beds, etc., on loan, while voluntary agencies have given further assistance. Difficulties have been encountered upon the discharge of patients from sanatoria where home conditions have not been conducive to continued recovery. Garden shelters have been of value in providing isolation for infectious patients being treated at home. During the year three shelters were in continuous use, one shelter being transferred from a recovered patient to another patient newly discharged from hospital.
