The Reorganisation Of Local Government PDF Download

Excerpt from The Reorganisation of Local Government: Being a Series of Essays Prepared by Captain C. M. Lloyd for a Conference of the Labour Research Department Now, so far as our own country is concerned, one small department of this social revolution which the Great War is producing is that which we call Local Government; and we are here, in this Conference, to take counsel together as to the way in which we may safely and successfully accomplish the task.' The Ministry of Health is virtually established. Its first great duty, for which there will be a Bill in Parliament next Session, will be to reorganise throughout England and Wales the whole provision, which the various Local Authorities already so largely make for the prevention and treatment of disease, and the necessary public care of the infirm of all kinds. And this involves, so the Cabinet has decided, not only the abolition of the Boards of Guardians and the Workhouse, but also the abolition of the Poor Law itself. To this programme the Government is pledged and the Minislry of Health is definitely committed; neither of them will dare to go back on it. It must necessarily amount to a revolutionary change in the organisation and working of our Local Governing Bodies. We are here to consider during these three days, in a dozen separate sittings, the various develop ments involved in this momentous revolution.
