SERVICES of the PROVINCIAL BOARD OF EALTH LOCAL HEALTH SERVICES The Provincial Board of Health fulfills its respon- » sibilities to aid in the 1 t and of adequate local health service by: 1.

The services of a highly qualified public health nutritionist to aid in the development of a self- sustained local nutrition program. The Provincial Board of Health acts as a clearing agency and a rep y for the lecti of all types of public health information and data for use by the local health services. SPECIALIZED SERVICES NOT POSSIBLE OF DEVELOPMENT LOCALLY There are many specialized public health services required by the people which it is economically unsound to provide on a local basis; therefore, these additional services are made by the Provincial Board of Health through the local health services. For ease in administration, many of these services are under the direct supervision of administrative units of the Provincial Board of Health, known as Divisions. These Divisions. include Public Health Engineering (or Envi tal Sanitation), Tub uf Services, Vene- real Disease Services, Public Health Laboratory Services, Vital Statistics and a new Division of Public Health Education which has not yet been fully developed. By this method specialized services are provided on a provincial basis and the follow-up and investiga- tion in the field by the local health service. Naturally, well organized or adequate local health service can more effectively tap and make full use of the provincial specialized health facilities for the people in their area. The Divisions mentioned above will be described fully in two further announcements to be inserted in early issues of this publication. Provincial Board of Health, Parliament Buildings, Victoria, B.C.
