“…And the importance of this for the future is obvious, since such repressive measures would form one of the greatest obstacles to the moral unification of the Spanish nation as a whole. (3) Endeavours are being made to ensure the first negotiations towards saving the lives of these people by means of the formula accepted by the Spanish Government, which consists in liberating the political prisoners in the hands of the authorities of the Government in Gijon (women and children without reserve; men of military age to be convoyed to and interned in a foreign country;) in exchange for the rebel authorities allowing the transportation of the civilian population by sea. (4) But if this formula were accepted (and it is not certain that it will be) there would still remain the problem of the combatants, and especially of the leaders. In view of the geographical situation of this region, if the resistance of those men should at last be overcome, they would have no alternative but to throw themselves into the sea or surrender; in either case it would mean certain death. …”

“…All health services will be financed by a geographical rate, aided by substantial grants in aid according to need and conditional on the provision of at least a minimal service. …”

“…On the average the regions have a population of about three million, but the size varies with geographical and other factors. For example most of the north-west of England with 4,400,000 people falls within the Manchester region ; Wales has 2,500,000 people, while the Liverpool region, between the two, has only 1,800,000. …”

“…The claim that Public Health should be the basis of the Ministry is paramount,— (1) Because the benefit of the general public, and not a particular class of persons, is the underlying principle of the Public Health Services, while Insurance deals with a limited class. (2) Because the Public Health Services are essentially preventive in character. (3) Because they are under the control of directly-elected persons. (4) Because the machinery for carrying out all Public Health work is already organised in clearly defined geographical areas by the local Public Health Authorities. …”

“…A doctor who undertakes the career of consultant and specialist must be in a position to do many years of unpaid work in voluntary hospitals, by means of which he gains his experience and builds up the reputation which may later bring him a high income in private practice. (c) Over the geographical distribution of doctors. This is determined not by need, but by other factors which are mainly economic. …”

“…Successive Committees on hospital problems have emphasised the need for planning and co-ordinating the hospital service in Scotland over wider areas and for this purpose have recommended the selection of the four natural regions based on the Cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee, where the key hospitals as well as the medical schools are to be found, with a fifth based for geographical reasons on Inverness. Although areas of this size are necessary for the planning and coordination of a comprehensive hospital service, they are clearly too large to serve as administrative units. …”

“…It was found that this Cornish district could, for geographical reasons, be more conveniently served from Exeter than anywhere else, and a Clinic was accordingly opened at Launceston, with a District Committee of which Mrs. …”

“…COUNTY HOSPITALS In every Public Health area there should be one or more large county hospitals, according to its geographical nature and the size of its population. Each should be fully equipped with surgical, medical, and special departments of all varieties, and manned with the necessary medical officers. …”

“…Johnstone said that there were two points upon which the set-up in Scotland was likely to differ from the set-up in England and Wales due largely to the geographical and population differences. For example Scotland proposed, as in the White Paper that for an experimental period the Health Centres which were going to be used by the General Practitioner Service should be started centrally, not by local authorities but by the Department of Health for Scotland with powers to delegate those centres and powers to the local authorities as and when suitable afterwards. …”

“…The League communicated with the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, and received information that the last complete Cancer survey of Great Britain available was made in 1905 and a Geographical Cancer Survey in the same year. On page 49 of this General Report will be found a comparative chart of deaths from Cancer in the years 1900-1905-1918. …”

“…It is accordingly proposed to set up Regional Hospitals Advisory Councils in each of the five hospital regions which have been defined by successive committees on hospital problems — four based on the teaching centres of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen, and the fifth based for geographical considerations on Inverness. These councils will be consultative and advisory bodies, and will consist of members nominated in equal numbers by the joint hospitals boards and by the voluntary hospitals in the region, with an independent chairman appointed by the Secretary of State. …”

“…Organization and co-ordination are likely to remain local, and the Association appreciates the advantages in elasticity and the preservation of local public interest which the system bears, so long as variations in methods and in the quality and conditions of service are not too extreme, and service is not too rigidly limited by geographical boundaries. 112. The effect of the Local Government Acts of 1929 and 1933, and the Public Health Act, 1936, has been to enlarge the field of public health responsibility of the larger units of administration in England and Wales — namely, the counties and county boroughs. …”

“…In the smaller counties all public health administration within their geographical areas would be the function of the county council; indeed, a few in England and several in Wales are below the minimum population which is desirable for efficiency. …”
