SECTION F—MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES.
Aged & Infirm Persons.
Since the National Health Service Act came into operation on 5th July, 1948,
an increasing number of elderly infirm or sick persons have been referred to the Public
Health Department for assistance in dealing with the various problems which have
arisen. Section 47 of the National Assistance Act, 1948, provides for securing
the necessary care and attention for persons who (a) are suffering from grave chronic
disease or, being aged, infirm, or physically incapacitated, are living in insanitary
conditions, and (b) are unable to devote to themselves and are not receiving from
other persons, proper care and attention. The Medical Officer of Health may apply
to a Court of Summary Jurisdiction for the removal of any such person on the grounds
that it is in such person's interest or necessary for preventing injury to the health
or serious nuisance to other persons.
