Grants to Schools for Mothers and Infant Consultations
The following letter was submitted to the Public Health and Housing
Committee, viz. :—
St. Pancras Borough Council.
Town Clerk's Department,
Town Hall, Pancras Road, N.W.
Dear Sir, 12th June, 1914.
Grants to Schools for Mothers and Infant Consultations.
On the 3rd instant the Council's Medical Officer of Health
communicated with the Medical Officers of the Metropolitan City
and Borough Councils as to calling a Conference of the Chairman
or other Member of each Public Health Committee with the respective
Town Clerks and Medical Officers to consider the above subject.
The proposed Conference was convened and met here yesterday,
when the following resolutions were unaminously agreed to:-
(a) That in view of the fact that the work of Schools for
Mothers and Infant Consultations is intimately associated
with that of local sanitary authorities for the reduction of
infantile mortality and sickness under the Notification of
Births Act and otherwise, this Conference of representatives of
Metropolitan Borough Councils is of the opinion that the
proposed grants to these institutions should be made by the
Local Government Board through the local sanitary authorities.
(b) That a copy of the foregoing resolution be forwarded
at once to the Prime Minister, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
the President of the Local Government Board, and the President
of the Board of Education.
(c) That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be forwarded
to the several Metropolitan City and Borough Councils, and
that they be requested to urge their local Members of Parliament
to support the action taken.
