OLD PEOPLE'S LIAISON COMMITTEE.
This Committee, which consists of representatives of
the Public Health Committee and those voluntary organisations
which run services with grants from the Council
under Section 31 of the National Assistance Act. met on
8th November this year. It again proved most useful in
giving the Council members a chance to explain their
overall plan for old people's welfare to the voluntary
organisations and at the same time gave the representatives
of the voluntary organisations the opportunity to bring
their various difficulties to the notice of the Council.
The representatives for the year were as follows:-

LAUNDRY SERVICE FOR TOE INCONTINENT
This service has continued its useful work during
1960. Arrangements have remained unchanged during the
year, namely collections twice weekly by public health
transport and an initial cleansing by the Health Department's
Driver/Disinfectors. Subsequent laundering is in
the Baths Laundry, separately from its normal work. The
Catholic Womens Guild has very kindly continued to undertake
the auxiliary service of repairing worn garments and
bed linen.
The following table shows the use made of the service
during the last six years.
