There is one other matter I may mention. Attention
has been drawn in this report to the number
of charitable agencies working in this district, and
to the mischief caused by the overlapping of their
efforts, and I am glad to be able to report that a
Special Committee, of which I am a member, ha?
been formed of representatives of the chief Societies
engaged to deal with all applications for assistance
made to any of the agencies by which it is hoped that
the trouble caused by indiscriminate and un-co-ordinated
charitable efforts may be prevented.
I am, Sir and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
J. CHARLES JACKSON,
Medical Officer of Health.
