During the year the Public Health Committee and the Maternity
and Child Welfare Committee considered the question of the fees
paid to the two local District Nursing Associations for nursing cases
of infectious disease and maternity and child welfare cases, and formed
the opinion that the Council should undertake in addition the responsibility
of providing facilities for the nursing of the certain other cases
which come within the scope of work already carried out by the
District Nursing Associations.
They also felt that the opportunity should be taken of revising
the fees paid for nursing, and that block grant payments should be
made. As a consequence the arrangements made by the Borough
with the District Nursing Associations are as follows : —
Maternity and Child Welfare:
Complications of Pregnancy (ante- and post-natal).
Certain Notifiable Infectious Diseases, viz.
Ophthalmia Neonatorum, Polio-Myelitis, Measles.
Certain other non-notifiable Infectious Diseases, viz.:—
Whooping Cough, Chicken-pox, Zymotic Enteritis,
Pemphigus Neonatorum.
Minor ailments.
P-ublic Health:
All notifiable infectious diseases not included in Maternity and
Child Welfare Scheme.
Certain other non-notifiable infectious diseases, viz.:—
Pneumonia, Influenza, and Bronchitis.

i.e., Hampstead District Nursing Association to receive a total
block grant in respect of these services of £70 per annum, and
Kilburn District Nursing Association to receive a total blockgrant
in respect of these services of £150 per annum,
