Also attached is advice/note from Alfred Austin, Poor Law Inspector, dated 28 February 1851 says it appears that the medical officers have not been consulted regarding the rearrangement of their districts. After much consideration he is disposed to advise the Board write to the Liverpool Select Vestry and state the Board is not disposed to object to the rearrangements bearing in mind the effort put in to equally divide the districts but as the calculations used to determine the workload are not declared, a trial period before granting their final approval is suggested and sanctioned.
