Résumé
Using a mixture of under-utilised quantitative and archival data, it explores the patterns of local authority medical services at both national and local levels. What emerges is a complex pattern of provision which touched on all areas of healthcare from the ‘cradle to the grave', but with very different priorities and forms in different places. In turn, this raises important questions about the role of local government in this period before the advent of the National Health Service and thereby the subsequent history of health care in England.
