Abstract
THE final report of the Departmental Committee on Tuberculosis was recently published. Since the interim report of 1912 (April) was issued the committee has been engaged in devising methods for dealing with the general problem of tuberculosis as it affects the community. This introduces at once the difficulty as to the policy to be followed with those cases occurring among the non-assured under the National Insurance Act. The funds for this purpose are now promised by the Government up to one half of the estimated cost, and whilst giving the ratepayers control of the local administration the funds mentioned are to be drawn from national sources.
