Administrative HistoryThe 1888 Local Government Act gave county councils supervisory powers over the local sanitary authorities and power to become sanitary authority where no other existed. A County Medical Officer of Health could be appointed (this was done in Derbyshire in 1891) and in 1910 further powers in respect of new housing schemes were added to the committee's responsibilities. The committee was afterwards known as the Public Health and Housing committee. The growth of health legislation resulted in the creation of other committees to deal with particular services - for example, maternity and child welfare, tuberculosis and mental deficiency. In 1946, the National Health Service Act resulted in the setting up of a statutory Health committee (see D919/C/1/47/1-8). Committee structure was reorganised in 1948.
