bringing hardship and starvation to many families. There is no general form of social insurance in the Colony and the unfor- tunate sufferer must continue to work. A few of the more considerate employers are prepared to continue to pay tuber- culoas employees while they are under treatment, this being the exception rather than the rule; but even so, due to the shortage of hospital accommodation, the sufferer may be obliged to recover as best he can within his own home where conditiona and diet are far from suitable. There are undoubtedly many who do recover in spite of such conditions while many others show evidence of having suffered from extensive disease without severe disability and have recovered without special treatment. Hospital accommodation generally falls far short of the requirements, Based on the widely accepted standard of one hospital bed for each tuberculosis death in the year, the accommodation available for the treatment of tuberculosis is about 20% of the requirements.
The details of the notifications of pulmonary tuber- culosis are set out below. It should be noted that the figures in this and in subsequent tables showing age and sex distribution have been reorganized to conform to the standards set forth by the World Health Organization.
