| Description | Folios 437-438. Letter from John D Taylor [John Dobede Taylor], Clerk to the Guardians of the Bishops Stortford Poor Law Union, to the Poor Law Board explaining that vaccination contracts with medical officers have not been made for the year commencing 24 June 1848. The reason for this is that the guardians have found it better to pay the medical officers at a rate of 1s 6d per vaccination. The guardians have also found that the system of setting up vaccination stations to be ineffective and that the medical officers prefer to visit the homes of the poor. The guardians propose to use this system again for the coming year unless the Board advise otherwise. Annotated: I do not object to the arrangement but a contract is asked for. Paper Number: 17125/1848. Poor Law Union Number 167. Counties: Hertfordshire and Essex. |
