National Assistance Act, 1948, Section 47
A number of cases of aged people came to the notice of the Public Health
Department, but with the co-operation of the Home Help Service of the London
County Council and with the assistance of the District Nurses, the Voluntary
Services and friends and neighbours it was possible to provide proper care in
their own homes but where necessary they were persuaded voluntarily to enter
hospital or other suitable establishments.
Care of the Aged
Help, advice and assistance for old people through the statutory authorities
and voluntary organisations associated in welfare work continued throughout the
year and the old people have benefited greatly from the services provided.
National Assistance Act, 1948, Section 50
