- Chadwick was a major
contributor to the report resulting
from the Royal Commission of

himself the effects of poverty
and the operation of the Poor
Laws.

- Chadwick, appreciating that poverty and ill
health were closely connected, began to
press for public health reform. In 1842, he
published his three volume 'Survey into the
Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Classes
in Great Britain' that eventually led to the
Public Health Act of 1848
- The report stated that there was an
urgent need to improve the living
conditions of the poor and that the
lack of public health was directly
related to the lifestyles endured by
the poor
- Chadwick also noted that he
labouring class could not labour as
well as it could in an expanding
industrial economy because of their
poverty and poor health
- Therefore it was
argued that the
improved health of
the poor would
directly benefit the
nation as a whole
