Survey by Ministry of Health.
In February, 1934, a communication was received from the
Ministry of Health stating that the Minister had had under consideration
the report made by his officers after the general survey of the
public health services of the Borough Council. It was stated, inter
alia, that the Minister noted with appreciation the comprehensive
provision made in the Borough for maternal care and the special
arrangements for the consideration of each maternal or infant death.
The Ministry's letter made reference to the understanding which was
reached by the Borough Council with the Hampstead Council of
Social Welfare for the revision in certain respects of the arrangements
for the co-ordination of the municipal and voluntary work performed
for maternity and child welfare; and to the fact that an additional
Health Visitor had been appointed and that a re-arrangement of health
visiting work had been effected.
