Abstract
VOLUNTARY associations providing maternity and child welfare services, under the Local Government Act, 1929, now receive annual contributions from the county or county borough council in whose area or for whose benefit they work. The Minister of Health has accordingly issued a circular (1538) reminding county and county borough councils outside London that they must prepare schemes in order to secure the payment of annual contributions towards the expenses of such voluntary associations within their areas, copies of model schemes for their use being enclosed with the Circular. Respecting venereal diseases, the Minister of Health has issued circulars (1536 and 1536a) to the responsible port and local authorities in England and Wales enclosing a revised list of treatment centres in the chief sea and river ports throughout the world at which seamen can obtain gratuitous treatment for these diseases, in accordance with arrangements contemplated by the international agreement signed at Brussels in 1924.
