SECTION C
HOUSING.
Rehousing.
The Housing Estates Manager has remained in close touch
with the Health Department regarding applicants who are living
in overcrowded conditions or have medical troubles. If overcrowding
is found to exist by the District Public Health Inspector,
statutory certification is made to the Housing Manager of the
London County Council.
Applications for rehousing by the London County Council are
made to that Authority direct, and requests for various enquiries
to be made are received from them through the Housing Estates
Manager. In cases where there is medical evidence the Medical
Officer of Health to the London County Council is responsible
for allocating priorities on health grounds, but rehousing on such
grounds has become very substantially reduced.
Twenty cases were recommended for rehousing on grounds
of health and 69 on grounds of overcrowding.
