MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE
The advent of the National Health Service Act on 5th July, 1948,
brought many changes in the provision of the Health Services. The
Middlesex County Council as the Local Health Authority is responsible
for all services concerned with the care of Mothers and Children and
the other services set out in Part 3 of the Act. For this purpose the
County has been divided into ten administrative areas.
The Urban District of Ruislip-Northwood, together with the
Urban Districts of Uxbridge, Hayes and Harlington, and Yiewsley
and West Drayton, forms Local Area No. 8. Dr. O. C. Dobson,
m.d., d.p.h., d.p.a., Barrister-at-Law, is the Area Medical Officer and
all services mentioned below are now administered from the Area
Health Office at the County Buildings, Uxbridge.
