£300 during the year of the temporary arrangement. After the trial period
is over it may be possible to arrange for block grants to cover all expenditure
which would materially reduce clerical and accountancy work.
A. G. G. Thompson, m.d.
Medical Officer of Health.
4th January, 1937.
We are of opinion that the proposals with regard to the provision
of hospital treatment for toddlers suffering from minor ailments as
outlined in the foregoing report of the Medical Officer of Health
should be adopted by the Council for an experimental period of
twelve months, and that the matter should then be reviewed by
us in the light of the experience gained.
We have requested the Finance Committee to submit the necessary
estimate to cover the approximate cost of £300, and we recommend—
That the Council do adopt the proposals above referred to,
that the same be put into operation for an experimental period
of twelve months, and that the Town Clerk be authorised on
behalf of the Council to sign such agreements with the
authorities of the respective hospitals concerned in the matter
as may be considered necessary.
Adopted.
