Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review, Vol. 49 That session of Parliament cannot be called sterile which has produced the Act for constituting a Local Government Board, an Act resembling some other important and sweeping measures in its brevity. It may be as well to remind our readers that, for some time past, the central functions of Government, relating to public health, local governments, drainage, etc., prevention of disease, and medical poor relief, have been distributed among several departments of the State, only three of which are included in the new Act. Briefly, then, to show what the Act covers and what it omits. (1) The Privy Council was previously empowered to direct scientific researches, to inquire into the causes and circumstances of any excessive local mortality, and to issue orders and regulations, at will, in times of pestilence; its action being directed by the distinguished medical officer who now advises the new central authority. (2) The supervision of medical poor relief was long ago committed to the chief destitution authority of the country, now transformed into the Local Government Board, which is also empowered to control local arrangements for public vaccination, previously administered under the direction of the Privy Council. (3) The Home Secretary was made the controlling authority in proceedings under the Public Health and Local Government Acts; the inspectors appointed under the latter reporting to him, and the definition of areas of local government, and the formation of local board districts and certain special drainage districts, being also submitted for his approval or correction.
