- Notes
- "At first sight this lengthy Bulletin may appear to be of little use to the clergy. We were anxious to give them a general picture of the services available for their people in each Province. .... Dr. Charlotte Whitton has come to our assistance again. She wrote the main article for our Bulletin No. 135 a year ago, `Aids to Social Security in Canada Today'. .... This present Bulletin will have an equal, or even more practical use. Health of body, mind and spirit is a definite concern of the Christian Church. While the Provinces have full responsibility for the oversight of the Health Services within their boundaries ... the Federal authority must of necessity have a very direct interest in the health of the Canadian people as a whole. It was therefore logical that some years ago a Department of Health was set up, now the Ministry of National Health and Welfare, and that grants are now being made to the Provinces to assist them in their various health programmes. .... The central section of Dr. Whitton's article may be of most practical use to the clergy, presenting as it does, an outline of the services available in each Province". -- Foreword.
