The Council recommended—
That the Metropolitan Boroughs Standing Joint Committee
be informed that, the Council is in favour of offering facilities
for the carrying out of the Schick Test and for active immunisation
against Diphtheria, but are in agreement with the opinion of the
Fulham Borough Council that its effectiveness would be minimised
unless similar schemes were put into operation by Metropolitan
Borough Councils generally.
(Adopted.)
And further recommended—
That application be made to the Minister of Health for his
approval under Section 77 Public Health (London) Act, 1891, to
a scheme for Schick Testing and Immunising against Diphtheria,
as outlined in the report of the Medical Officer of Health, subject
to approval of estimate by Finance Committee.
(Adopted.)
