Committee, every four weeks. Grants take two
forms : —
(а) Fresh (Grade A Tuberculin Tested) Milk —
supplied by order on the nearest milkman on
the Council's list.
(б) Dried Milk — supplied at the Welfare Centre,
Cornwall Road.
The necessary orders and cards of authority are
prepared in the Public Health Department on Thursday,
and are issued at the Centre on the following
morning. In the case of fresh milk, the official order
combined with an invoice is handed to the mother to
take to the milkman, who subsequently returns it duly
completed as an account, including the mother's signature
for the milk. In the case of dried milk, the
authority to issue the specified quantity is sent to the
Centre on a card on which the mother gives a receipt
each week. Complete records are kept in the Public
Health office from weekly returns furnished from the
Centre, of the stocks and issues of the various brands
of dried milk supplied.
Mothers, in addition to milk grants, are also allowed
free any medicines which may be prescribed for them
or their children attending the Centre by one of the
Centre Medical Officers, and a card for this purpose
is also issued at the time the milk grant is madie'.
