Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, commissioned by the Local Government Board and written in two parts, provides a detailed report on isolation hospitals including their construction, running costs, and effectiveness in preventing the spread of infectious diseases. The first part of the book discusses the need for hospitals specializing in infectious diseases and chronicles the author's visits to numerous hospitals, both temporary and permanent. The second part of the book is comprised of reports on individual hospitals, including details of their costs and any exceptional factors that contributed to their high or low costs. The author argues that isolation hospitals are essential for controlling the spread of infectious disease, particularly for diseases such as scarlet fever and diphtheria which can be easily transmitted in schools and other places where people congregate. The author also discusses the appropriate size and location of such hospitals, as well as their design and the materials used in their construction. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of public health and the development of isolation hospitals in England and Wales. It is also a useful guide for local authorities and hospital administrators who are planning to build or renovate isolation hospitals.
