ABSTRACT
Glasgow, in 1931, had a population of 1,088,417 persons. The due co-ordination of the work of voluntary hospitals with that of private practitioners is a task of colossal magnitude in a city as large as Glasgow. The venereal disease clinics at each of these hospitals or infirmaries are in fact official organisations in voluntary hands, and do the same work as is done in the special corporation clinics for venereal disease. In addition, there are five special tuberculosis clinics under official management, and fourteen clinics for maternity and child welfare in different sections of the city. The working of the Blind Persons Act is in the hands of a joint committee composed of the local public health authorities of Glasgow and the south-west of Scotland. School medical service has hitherto been in charge of the independent Glasgow Education Authority; but it is now being transferred to the new Education Committee of the Corporation.
