London County Council (General Powers)
Act, 1928, Section 28.
Aged or Infirm or Physically Incapacitated
Persons living under Insanitary Conditions. Two
persons were removed to the Fulham Institution
during the year 1933 under a Magistrate's Order,
which was obtained by the Medical Officer of
Health at the West London Police Court. Nine
persons were removed voluntarily to hospitals or
institutions and twenty-eight were kept under
observation or supervision during the year. The
inspections of premises occupied by persons coming
under Section 28 and allied cases are carried out,
as a rule, by the Woman Sanitary Inspector, and
special cases are dealt with in addition by the
Medical Officer of Health.
The duties in connection with the supervision
of these persons demand much tact and sympathetic
handling.
