Allan Warner (physician)

Allan Warner (c. 1871 – 24 May 1952), was a British physician who served as Leicester's chief medical officer of health.

Later, he had administrative roles at the Western Park Open Air School and acted as the medical advisor to Leicester's Mental Deficiency committee.

[6] He described the aim of the school as to "so train the children that they would eventually become hardy men and women", something he felt was important for a good citizen in the interwar years.

[6] In one later report, Warner recited George Newman: "the existence and strength of the nation ultimately depends upon the survival of its children and their physical and mental health".

[7] He "suggested that idiots and imbeciles should be put in an institution, low-grade children could be left with the parents, and the feeble minded segregated so that they could not reproduce".
