Answer:
The first individual case worker was appointed in a charity hospital in London in 1895.
Explanation:
Miss Mary Stewart; the first individual case worker who used to work as a case worker for the supremely Victorian Charity Organization Society was appointed at London’s Royal Free Hospital in 1895. Her duties were: Firstly, to prevent the ‘abuse’ of admission being given to ‘persons able to pay for medical treatment’; Secondly, to refer the ‘destitute’ to the Poor Law; and Thirdly, to encourage those between the two to join ‘Provident Dispensaries’ whenever financially possible.
She was also given the title the Lady Almoner: by which she was known officially until 1964.
