DAY NURSERIES
During the latter part of the year, considerable changes took
place in the administration of the Day Nursery scheme. The chief
of these was the increase in the standard charge from 2/- to 9/per
day, based on a scale of assessment of the means of each family,
the minimum charge remaining at 2/- per day.
Admission to the Nurseries was still governed by the list of
priorities approved by the County Council and the Minister of
Health, but applications for admission, assessment of charges, and
appeals against assessments were now dealt with by the Joint Area
Medical Officers, and the Day Nursery Panel was only concerned
with appeals against refusal to admit and appeals after re-assess-|
ment. A six-monthly review of cases accommodated in the nurseries
was also to be taken by the Panel, but this would not fall due
until the Spring of 1953.
The new charges came into force on the 1st December, 1952,
and a certain number of childen were withdrawn by their parents.:
