§ 25. Mr. R. YOUNGasked the Minister of Health whether his approval has now been given to the appointment of a medical officer of health for Golborne, Lancashire; and whether the gentleman appointed has the Diploma of Public Health qualification, in conformity with the terms of the advertisement when candidates for the position were sought?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI have informed the council that, as the candidate selected 2246 by them does not possess the requisite qualifications, I am not at present prepared to give a sanction to his appointment, which would enable them to obtain repayment from the County Fund of one-half of the salary of the officer.
