Poor Law Medical Officers Association Annual Report 1869
The council reports 16 meetings by officers and four by the association, member numbers nearly doubling from under 400. It details aims for fair pay tied to work, permanence of appointment, and police reforms, praising Goschen for rescinding Article 5 and supporting dispensaries while urging Parliament action and petitions to improve poor law medical officers’ conditions.
