LIAISON WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS
The Department does, of course, have considerable liaison with other
Departments of the Council on various medical aspects of their work. There is
a close tie with the Children's Department in respect of such things as adoptions,
the Sick Bay at Hutton Poplars Children Home, etc. In addition the Health
Department has contact with the Welfare Department in respect of the Morning
Lane Reception centre, and on many individual cases. Relations with the
Departments have been uniformly good. Consultation with and advice for the
Housing Department is a regular feature of the work of the Department.
