Abstract
THE Minister of Health, Mr. Ernest Brown, speaking at a meeting of the Cambridge University Medical Society on October 21, said that the operation of wartime services is providing a background against which the Ministry is working out ideas for future developments in public health. As regards the Emergency Hospital Service, Mr. Brown said that the old conception of independent general hospitals to serve all purposes has gradually been replaced by a more co-operative scheme in which different hospitals in an inter-dependent group have special centres for different purposes. Problems of the necessary financial arrangements, including the functions of hospital contributory schemes, of the precise place in the schemes of the local authorities, of what central control will be necessary in a hospital area including the districts of several local authorities, and similar details, remain to be worked out in detail.
