    The County Council pays these officers their full salaries and receives from the district councils the amounts for which they are responsible. In the two areas in which the apportionment of sessions as district medical officer of health was less than the county average of four sessions per week, the County Council agreed to pay the existing staff the difference between the appropriate salary for that number of sessions and the amounts paid by the district councils, in view of the fact that all the medical officers had previously been paid at the same rate and that the new rate of salary for duty as district medical officer of health was more than that for duty as an assistant county medical officer. It was also agreed that the County Council would pay, from 1st April, 1952, the whole of the travelling expenses of these officers instead of appor¬ tioning them. III. SPECIAL SURVEY OF LOCAL HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THE NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE ACTS. GENERAL. 1. Administration. Part II of the Fourth Schedule of the National Health Service Act, 1946, requires every local health authority, i.e., each county council and county borough council, to establish a health committee and refer to it all matters relating to the discharge of the functions of a local health authority. A majority of the members of a health committee must be members of the local health authority. The Norfolk County Council appointed a Health Committee consisting of 35 members, the constitution of which is now as follows: — 25 members of the County Council, including the Chairman and Vice- Chairman. 10 members representative of other bodies, viz: — East Anglian Regional Hospital Board. Norfolk Executive Council. Rural District Councils’ Association. King’s Lynn Borough Council. Norfolk Local Medical Committee. Non-County Boroughs’ and Urban District Councils’ Association. British Red Cross Society & Norfolk County Nursing Association (joint representative). St. John Ambulance Brigade. Norfolk Federation of Women’s Institutes. Women’s Voluntary Services.
