HC Deb 10 April 1919 vol 114 c2269W
Captain AINSWORTH

asked the President of the Local Government Board whether, in any scheme for the control or provision of matters pertaining to public health, the district nursing associations in Lancashire and Cheshire can be utilised by some method of co-ordination with the State of municipal authorities, so that the valuable work done by district nurses may not be overlooked?

Dr. ADDISON

I am well aware of the valuable work done by district nurses throughout the country, and that several district nursing associations in Lancashire and Cheshire are already co-operating with the local authorities in providing midwifery and nursing services. The Local Government Board wll continue to encourage such co-operation.
