Hanwell and Ealing be appointed to the voluntary body
needed to implement the scheme
OLD PEOPLE'S LIAISON COMMITTEE.
The work of the Health Committee, has of course,
during the last few years been increasingly concerned
with the Care of Old People and it follows from this that
there has been increasing co-operation with the voluntary
organisations in the Borough without whose assistance
much of the work of this nature would not be possible In
November, 1958 it was decided that there was a need for a
meeting between representatives of the Public Health
Committee and those voluntary organisations who were
running services which were receiving grants from the
Council under Section 31 of the National Assistance Act.
The Old People's Liaison Committee was therefore formed,
its purpose being to ensure that the needs and difficulties
of the voluntary organisations could be clearly brought
to the Council's notice and at the same time the feelings
of the Council on present and future plans for services
for old people could be explained to the voluntary organisations.
The Committee has met as and when required and
has been most successful in achieving the object for
which it was constituted. The representatives for 1959/60
were as follows:Public
