how accurate is it to say that the
PHA of 1848 was the most
significant change in public health
provision in the years 1780-1939
Tags
intro:
there are other acts which potentially hold more significance
eg: the 1814 and 1853 vaccination act, the 1875 public Health Act and the
1936 public Health Act
main body:
1) PHA v significant at its time of passing
because it demonstrated the state attempting to push public health reform
and tailored the setting up of a general Board of Health and allowed towns to elect a
medical officer
General Board of Health was expected to be permanent, unlike the ones set up during the
cholera epidemic of 1832
BUT
the act itself was permissive
many towns didn't take up the ideas presented by the act
places that did have medical officers only did so if it was cheap
by 1858 the general Board of Health was abolished and replaced by medical department
in the Privy Council
∴ PHA not the most significant act as it was permissive and had limited impact
still holds some significance as it can be labeled as implementing blueprints for later
change to public health provision
2) vaccination acts of 1840 and 1853 have been considered as significant public health acts
1780-1939
in 1840 vaccinations were made free
how accurate is it to say that the PHA of 1848 was the most significant change in public health provision in the years 1
1780-1939
