It is to be hoped that the order will meet with success, but I have
some doubts unless the measures tendered by the Local Government
Board are also carried out. I do not, however, mean to make too much
of the possibility of failure. The first step in this connection is to try
to ensure success. To forget the difficulties and drawbacks and to go
ahead. It is difficult to put a scheme before the Council involving
additional Health Visitors, one or more nurses, not to mention a measles
medical officer, when there is so much talk of economising even in
public health, but I warn the Council that such things may have to
come.
