Beschreibung:

The revelations of the influenza epidemic led to a major effort by the Health Department, during
the interwar years, to improve sanitation in Maori settlements. A greater focus on Maori health and housing was forged through the establishment of the Division of Maori Hygiene within the Health Department under the Health Act

Under the Health Act 1920, Māori Councils were renamed Māori Health Councils and new district boundaries were to be drawn up and gazetted. A new Health Department replaced the Department of Public Health and included a Division of Maori Hygiene

To help supply clean water to Māori communities, the Health Act 1920 provided for
government subsidies on a pound-for-pound basis towards water supply and other sanitary
projects, a similar provision to that in the Maori Councils Act 1900
