ESTABLISHMENTS FOR MASSAGE OR SPECIAL TREATMENT
MIDDLESEX COUNTY COUNCIL ACT, 1944, SECTIONS 353-363
The Council continued to exercise its function as the licensing authority
under the provisions of the above-mentioned Act. A person requiring a licence
or renewal of a licence under this part of the Act must make application to the
Local Authority giving certain information, such as age, nationality, technical
qualifications and the nature of the establishment and the business conducted
thereat.
The Council considered and granted the following applications:-
New Licences 2
Renewal of Licences 30
Certificates lodged under
Section 363 by members of
the Chartered Society of
Physiotherapy 4
Licences Refused
NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948
NATIONAL ASSISTANCE (AMENDMENT) ACT, 1951
Section 47
This section deals with securing the necessary care and attention by
removal to hospital or other place of persons who
(a) are suffering from grave chronic disease or being aged, infirm or
physically incapacitated, are living in insanitary conditions and
(b) are unable to devote to themselves, and are not receiving from other
persons, proper care and attention.
In no instance was it considered necessary to use the powers available
under the Act, but nevertheless the Act is valuable in that the knowledge that
the statutory power of removal exists often helps towards an effective decision.
In dealing with the problem the co-operation of Mr. C. Austwick, the
Area Welfare Officer, has been greatly appreciated.
