| AdminHistory | The Erdington House and Quinton Hall Sub-Committee was formed in January 1930, and divided into rotas, which undertook the revision of cases receiving institutional relief at Erdington House, Quinton Hall and the Selly Oak Infirmary. The sub-committee appointed staff and liaised with the Warrant Officers as to the running and furnishing of the institutions. In November 1938 the Council changed the name of the sub-committee to the Erdington House Sub-Committee, as responsibility for Quinton Hall was transferred to the new Homes For The Aged Sub-Committee (see BCC/1/CD/8). In May 1942, the name of the sub-committee changed again, as Erdington Hall was renamed, to the Highcroft Hall Sub-Committee. Three minor sub-sub-committees also reported to this sub-committee to discuss matters concerning staff discipline, the modernisation of Erdington House and the future of Witton Hall (see BCC/1/CD/7/1/4 and 8 - 10). |
