Health Week. The Council co-operated in the autumn
in the general scheme of health propaganda throughout the
country organised by the Health Week Committee. The
following report presented by the Public Health and Housing
Committee to the Council gives the details of the week's
programme.
In accordance with the Council's resolution of 1st April
last, we arranged a suitable programme for Health Week,
1925. In this we were fortunate in securing the co-operation
of the Works, Electricity and Housing Committees and the
approval of the Minister of Health, not only in authorising
the expenditure, but allowing a certain proportion to rank
for grant under the Maternity and Child Welfare scheme.
The chief object of a Health Week is education, and as a
rule the programme consists of addresses and health talks,
exhibits, and visits to municipal works and works of similar
character.
The Health Exhibition was the central focus of our activities,
but we recognised that it was necessary to secure the co-operation
of Ministers of Religion, Employers of Labour, School
Teachers, individual townspeople and representative associations,
to help us in many diverse ways in health propaganda
work, and so make Health Week an effective force. To all of
them we have extended, in accordance with the pleasure of
the Council, our hearty thanks.
