Besides representatives of the Fund, the committee includes representatives
of the hospital management committee, the London County
Council, local practitioners and LOPWA, and I represent the borough
council. The committee decided to carry out a partial house-to-house
survey of the borough through a government agency. After a pilot
survey, in which the health department officers gave great help, the
main survey was carried out in the late spring of 1961. Tabulated
results were not available to the committee until the early part of
1962 and the committee hopes to issue its report during the current
year.
