providing maternity and child welfare services,
which of these services are to be treated as services
in respect of which the London County Council
are to contribute, and which are services in respect
of which the Councils of the Metropolitan Boroughs
are to contribute.
(b) providing for the payment of contributions to those
associations by the several Councils.
The proposed scheme divided Maternity and Child
Welfare institutions in London into two classes and provided
that the London County Council should be the Authority to
be satisfied as to the efficiency of the services of those in the
first class, and that the Metropolitan Borough Councils should
be the Authorities for this under the second class.
Representations were made to the Minister of Health
and the Metropolitan Borough's Standing Joint Committee
upon the scheme asking that it should be amended so as to
make the Borough Councils the Authorities to be satisfied .
as to the efficiency of the services provided. The decision
of the Minister on the matter had not been received at the
end of the year.
