MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
That the Council's activities in relation to Maternity
and Child Welfare ceased at the coming into operation
of the National Health Service Act 1946, on the
Appointed Day, 5th July, 1948, has already been noted.

only to the period preceding transference of the work
to the London County Council.
