It will be noted that the number of Ante-Natal visits have decreased
markedly since last year. This was on account of the fact that an effort
was made to economise the Health Visitors' work as much as possible, as
their services were required for Education duties in the place of the two
Education Nurses mentioned above. It may be stated that most of the houses
in the district are known to our Health Visitors or to the Sanitary Inspectors
and, consequently, such visits were cut out, as we already knew the accommodation.
The other Ante-Natal visits left out were those of mothers who
failed to attend our Clinics, as we realised that they had made other
arrangements.
Clinics and Treatment Centres.
These are as described in previous reports and may be briefly
summarised.
