Health Information Bureau.
The Health Information Bureau continued its work, successfully,
and again the opportunity was taken to fuse into the Bureau all enquiries
on numerous health matters which normally come to the Department,
and 4,798 of these came into the Bureau up to the end of
the year.
They varied from passes for blind persons on buses to vacancies
for students in Mental Hospitals, and in looking up the answers to
such tongue twisters, we taught ourselves a lot that we didn't know
in 1954.
A revised copy of the Health Services Guide was printed and
approximately 2,500 copies were distributed, and once again many
copies were sent to various parts of the British commonwealth and
many Authorities throughout the Country.
Authority has again been received from the Health committee for a
further revised Edition of the Guide to be issued for 1956.
