Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL
The Local Government Board, in December, 1910, issued a general Memorandum to local authorities other than county councils in which they pointed out the advantages of appointing medical officers of health who are not to engage in private practice, and urged the authorities of small districts to combine with their neighbours to secure such an officer. It is their practice to bring this view to the notice of local authorities when a new appointment is to be made. Under the Housing, Town Planning, etc., Act, 1909, a medical officer of health appointed by a county council after the passing of that Act may not engage in private practice. The following list gives the names of the authorities in Wales and Monmouthshire whose medical officers of health do not engage in private practice—
