the payment of contributions by the London County Council and the
Councils of the Metropolitan Boroughs to Voluntary Associations
providing Maternity and Child Welfare services in the County of
London, indicates the financial aid afforded to such local organisations
and institutions.
Subject to certain conditions, in each of the four financial years
1933-34, 1934-35, 1935-36 and 1936-37, the London County Council
is required to pay by way of annual contribution, specified sums to
certain voluntary associations and the Borough Council is required
similarly to pay to other voluntary associations annual fixed grants.
It is a condition of the payment of a contribution to any voluntary
association under this scheme:—
(i) that the Council are satisfied as to the efficiency of the maternity
and child welfare service provided by the association in
respect of which the contribution is payable, and that such
service is being used by a reasonable number of those persons
for whom it is provided;
(ii) that no reduction or alteration of such service is made without
the consent of the Council;
(iii) that such service, and any premises in which it is carried on,
are open to inspection at all reasonable times by any officer
of the Council duly authorised by the Council, and by any
officer of the Ministry of Health appointed for that purpose
by the Minister;
(iv) that the Association sends to the Council in each year a copy
of the annual report of the Association on the maternity and
child welfare work of the previous year, together with a
statement of the accounts of the Association for that year
relating to such work and a copy of the auditor's certificate
thereon, and furnishes the Council from time to time with such
other information relating to the maternity and child welfare
services provided by the Association and the expenditure
thereon as the Council may reasonably require.
