The committee generally met fortnightly, at the workhouse boardroom. Quarterly, officers’, and other reports were submitted to the board of guardians. Also submitted were resolutions passed, requisitions for medicines and other requirements, and matters arising requiring the board’s sanction (e.g. premises, staff, individual relief cases).The committee also examined the books kept by the medical officer. The main dispensary was in Castletown, and for most of its existence was housed within the workhouse buildings. The district also had dispensaries in Adrigole and on Bere Island, which the medical officer generally attended one day each week. These were also used by relieving officers and midwives.
