Description

(Text)

This book explores the Local Government Board (LGB) Medical Department s work, successes, and failures throughout its forty-eight-year life and assesses its influence on public health administration in England and Wales. Earlier generations of public health historians have substantially dismissed the Department as being too small to be effective and too lacking in authority to have an impact. More recently a growing number of scholars have challenged this view. This book continues this reappraisal, identifying the influence of the Department on Victorian and Edwardian epidemiology and public health management and its success in protecting Britain from epidemic and endemic infectious disease in a pre-antibiotic era. The Medical Department s small team of doctors provided expertise, encouragement, leadership, and challenge in the management of public health and the struggle against infectious disease in Britain and beyond. Blending a chronological approach with a thematic focusin each chapter to chart the evolution of the LGB Medical Department, the author uses case studies of selected medical inspections to explore the Department s work at various stages in its life. Analysing both national and local archive materials to explore the Medical Department s work and influence in its contemporary contexts, this book offers fresh insights into the relationships between central and local government as well as revealing the significant impact of its expert staff on the development of public health administration in England and Wales.
