During the year St. Mildred's House ceased district nursing on the
Isle of Dogs. The East London Nursing Society took over part of this
area, and for the remaining part an agreement was entered into with the
Vicar of St. John's Church, Isle of Dogs. The agreement with St. John's
does not apply to members of families who make weekly contributions to
the St. John's Isle of Dogs Nursing Association and are members of that
Association.
