is available for the removal of cases of accident and sudden
illness arising in the streets or public buildings, and for the
removal of ordinary maternity cases between the hours of

day time when accompanied by a doctor or a nurse.
iv. Clinics and Treatment Centres. In tabular form
below is shewn a list of clinics and treatment centres in the
Borough. The list differs in two items from that of last
year, viz., the substitution of the Council's new welfare centre
at the Old Town Hall in place of the premises at the Town
Hall, and also by the inclusion of a Sunlight clinic. Details
regarding the work of the maternity centres will be found
on pages 128 to 135, and with regard to Tuberculosis on
pages 117 to 120.
Persons requiring treatment for venereal diseases can
attend one of the London hospitals, the nearest to the Borough
