Reform in Poor Law Medical Officers and Vaccination Edicts
The piece reports on the Metropolitan Poor Law Medical Officers' Association dropping its prefix and inviting provincial members, with calls for inspectors to meet medical standards. It criticizes a Poor Law Board minute and notes vaccination enforcement under the New Act, including an Ipswich circular and proceedings against noncompliant parents. It also discusses the Strand Union case against Dr. Rogers, accusing the Poor Law Board and Strand guardians of unfounded actions while questioning the Board's inquiry and evidence.
