Tuberculosis (Treatment, Newcastle-On-Tyne)

Mr. CAIRNS
asked the Minister of Health if he is aware that the medical officer for the City of Newcastle-on-Tyne, for tuberculosis, stated that 80 per cent. of cases treated were dealt with at the homes of the people; and will he inquire why they were not treated in sanatoria provided for that purpose?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN
My attention has not previously been drawn to this statement, but I am communicating with the town council in the matter.
