    Tuberculosis. No action was taken under the Public Health (Prevention of Tuberculosis) Regulations, 1925, Section 62 of the Public Health Act, 1925, or Section 172 of the Public Health Act, 1936. Tuberculosis—Notifications, Deaths, etc. There were 19 new cases notified during the year, the same number as last year. Pulmonary cases accounted for 11 and Non-Pulmonary cases for 8 of these new notifications. The number of deaths in notified cases was 2, or 50% of the total deaths from this disease. Notification is good on the whole in this area- Close touch is maintained by your Health Department with the County Tuberculosis Medical Officer, Health Visitors and the After- Care Committee, and every effort is made to re-house cases living under unsuitable conditions so far as the resources of the Council permit. The following table shews the new cases and mortality in age groups during 1938 :— Tuberculosis. New Cases and Mortality during 1938. Age Periods. New Cases. Deaths. Pulmonary. Non-Pulmonary.
