    Nursing Agencies.—Section 2 of the Nurses Agencies Act, 1957, requires that a person shall not carry on an agency for the supply of nurses on any premises in the area of the licensing authority unless he is the holder of a licence from that authority authorising him to do so. The County Council are the licensing authority in the Administrative County. At the end of 1960 there were no licensed agencies in the Administrative County area, but during the year one nursing agency in Lytham St. Annes M.B., in Health Division No. 3, closed down.
