Transfer of Powers (London) Order, 1933.—Under the above Order,
which came into operation on 1st April, 1933, the duties regarding Infant
Life Protection were transferred from the London County Council to the
Borough Council.
The following arrangements were made in order to carry out the
provisions of Part I of the Children Act, 1908, as amended by the Children
and Young Persons Act, 1932:—
(a) Officers.—The Chief Health Visitor, Miss J. M. Cardozo, was
authorised, in writing, to carry out the duties, with the exception
of the institution of legal proceedings, and Miss E. A. H.
Williams was authorised to act during Miss Cardozo's absence.
As this work might involve Court proceedings, and if such
proceedings were taken by the Health Visiting Staff, it would
prove detrimental to the ordinary work carried out by them,
the Council appointed Messrs. C. A. Grabham and H. A. Pearce
as Officers under Part I of the Children Act, 1908, as amended
by the Children and Young Persons Act, 1932, for this work.
The Medical Officer of Health was authorised to exercise the
powers.
(b) Reception of Notices.—The Medical Officer of Health, Public
Health Office, Bow Road, is the authorised person to receive
Notices required to be given to the Council.
