B Muspratt, Lisa Ponting · Sexually Transmitted Infections · 1967
At a meeting at County Hall, London, in April, 1964, it was decided to carry out a pilot study on contact tracing at The London Hospital and St. Thomas' Hospital.It was agreed that there should be one full-time V.D. Social Worker at each clinic and a third working between the two clinics.Many were of the opinion that this type of contact tracing would not be successful, but the figures for the first 9 months of the two years 1964 and 1965 show an increase in the number of contacts attending since the scheme was started.
