Meetings.—The Care Committee meets at the Council House,
East Hill, Wandsworth, on the first Friday in every month
at 3 p.m. The Finance Sub-committee and Handicraft Subcommittee
meet prior to the General Committee.
Summary of the Work Done.—Although assessments have
been abolished, the London County Council require a return to
be made to them giving the financial circumstances of patients
who are to undergo institutional treatment. A knowledge of these
particulars and of the home conditions under which the patients
live are factors which have a bearing on the treatment recommended.
Patients requiring dental treatment, which is a service provided
by the Borough Council, are still assessed by the Committee
who determine the amount of their contributions towards the
cost.
