People Urged to Make Use of Facilities London, Sept. 25.
In connection with the national health campaign, which the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, will inaugurate on Thursday next, the Minister of Health, Sir Kingsley Wood, and the President of the Board of Education, Lord Stanhope, have sent the following message to all local authorities.
"Over a number of years, and particularly in the last three decades, the Government, local voluntary organizations and workers, and the medical and allied professions have been building up a network of health services which is probably not equalled by any other country to-day.
"Some of the services are undoubtedly not being used to the extent which we should all desire. For this reason the Prime Minister is launching a national campaign to appeal to all, and especially to parents and others who have charge of children, to see that everyone has the fullest opportunity of benefitting by the numerous health facilities at his call and is in this way helped towards a healthy and happy life."
A poster and general publicity campaign has been planned over the next five months.—Wireless Through Reuter.
