ON THE SUGGESTED TRANSFER OF THE CONTROL
OF THE HEALTH ACTIVITIES TO THE COUNTY.
It has been known to you, for more than two years, that
the Middlesex County Council would apply to the Ministry
to be made the authority for the administration of the
Maternity and Child Welfare Services of the Districts of
Wembley and Kingsbury—when sanction was given for the
union of these districts.
This knowledge has been a source of anxiety to all
concerned, and, because of the uncertainty, no new work or
requisitions of importance could be considered.
