GB 0120 SA/AMO 1974-1981 Collection (fonds) 1 box Association of Area Medical Officers of Health

The Association of Area Medical Officers of Health was set up as a result of local government reorganisation, as a successor to the Association of County Medical Officers of Health, when Medical Officers employed by local government for each county were replaced by Medical Officers based on the new Area Health Authorities within the National Health Service. Many former County Medical Officers of Health were re-employed by Area Health Authorities. The Association came into being early in 1974, and was dissolved in 1981 in anticipation of the abolition of Area Health Authorities in April 1982.

The papers were received by the Wellcome Library on permanent loan from Dr P.C. Moore of Shrewsbury, formerly the Honorary Secretary of the Association.
