Much help has also heen given by the Invalid Children's Aid Association,
by workers attached to various religious bodies, and by the Charity Organisation
Society.
W e are still, however, waiting for an effective scheme by which the various
helpful agencies may be unified, and the work already begun developed and
extended.
We require much help in visiting the homes, in keeping families under
observation, in visiting cases removed to hospital or infirmary, and in promoting
wholesome living in various directions. We shall also require very
considerable financial help for those existing agencies on whose resources our
cases will make large demands. We may require some new agency such as
the Anti-Tuberculosis Dispensary which has elsewhere been found to be of
great value. On these matters it would be helpful to obtain the views of the
District Medical Officers, of the Medical Practitioners of the Borough generally,
and of those who are already doing work of much importance among the poor
of the district.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
M. E. Bibby.
Sanitary Inspector.
