AdminHistoryThe Homes for the Aged Sub-Committee was formed in November 1938, divided into rotas which met monthly. These rotas undertook the revision of cases receiving institutional relief at Quinton Hall, Witton Hall, Highbury Home and Summer Hill, which were the homes that had a proportion of elderly residents in need of relief. The sub-committee dealt with applications from residents, liaised with the Warrant Officers as to the running of the institutions, and dealt with collection of fees from those chargeable for their maintenance. The Highbury Home Minor Sub-Sub-Committee also reported to this sub-committee. It was appointed in June 1939 to deal with any additional business relating to this institution (see BCC/1/CD/8/1/1).
