MUNICIPAL VISITORS:
A temporary Health Visitor was appointed to take the place of the permanent
Health Visiter seconded to the Ministry of Health. is reported in last year's
Annual Report, the Health Visitors were from times to time taken from their normal
Health Visiting work, as urged by the Ministry of Health, in order to take part in
a special campaign in connection with Diphtheria Immunisation of children under 5,
and to assist at the Diphtheria Immunisation Clinics, Visiting continued to remain
difficult during the whole of the year owing to the increasing number of women taking
up war work.
