Charges and Assessments for Health Services
In April the London Boroughs Association reported regarding the calculation
of charges and their abatement in appropriate circumstances by means of assessment
scales, and their detailed recommendations were considered by a Working Party
appointed by the Borough's Social Services Co-ordinating Committee. Pending the
Council's decision on these proposals for the revision of the scales of charges the
assessment procedure of the former London County Council continued to be used.
Services for the Handicapped—Support in the Home
The joint circular of the Department of Education and Science 9/66 and the
Ministry of Health 7/66 on the co-ordination of education, health and welfare services
for handicapped children and young people emphasised that it is essential to consider
the child and the family together. To encourage and support the parents in caring
at home for a child on the handicapped register the Health Committee accordingly
agreed to provide health services free, e.g. day nursery, home help, or mental health
service.
Expenditure
The approximate net revenue expenditure for 1967/68 was £1,290,760; the
amount recovered in contributions and charges, including reimbursement of the
cost of the school health service (£128,840) and the Government Grant of half the
cost of the Port Health Administration (£16,550), was approximately £517,790.
