A special survey of the housing conditions of the 8 1 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis on the Registers revealed an improvement in the situation since the survey of I 948:— Forty-one cases had their own bedroom. Forty cases shared a bedroom, but in seventeen of these a separate bedroom was available. Eleven cases were in Sanatoria at time of survey. In twelve cases an extra bedroom was desirable, but none of these houses was overcrowded, having regard to the Housing standard provided by the Housing Act, 1936. Six families, in each of which one member was tubercu- lar, were re-housed by the Housing Committee during the year.
