Nursing Homes.—There are in the district 6 registered
Nursing Homes, the same number as during 1937. They are as
follows:—
1. 73. Palmerston Crescent Palmers Green.
2. Chase Bank Nursing Home, Avenue Road, Southgate.
3. Onslow House Nursing Home, Chase Road, Southgate.
4. Uvedale Nursing Home, Elmscott Gardens, Winch-
more Hill.
5. 116, Aldermans Hill, Palmers Green.
6. 2, Downes Court, Winchmore Hill.
These Nursing Homes provide facilities for the treatment of
medical, surgical and maternity cases, and are under the direct
supervision of the Middlesex County Council.
Nursing in the Home, —(a) The Southgate Queen's Nursing
Association has continued the work set out in the Annual Reports
for the past two years. The apparent decrease in the work undertaken
is explained by the fact that all midwifery visits have now
been deleted, following the transfer of these duties to the County
Council.
There can be no doubt that this service is proving of very
great value to the inhabitants of Southgate. It is indeed an excellent
example of the co-operation which can and should exist between a
statutory authority and an efficient, well-organised voluntary body
operating in that authority's area.
