Arrangements were made during the year for two doctors
to be in attendance at the Seven Kings and Albert Road Welfare
Centres at each session, in order to relieve the overcrowding at
those centres.
Ilford Lane Centre is still considerably overcrowded, and it
will be necessary for two doctors to attend here also. Further
centres will soon be required in order to cope with the ever-increasing
influx of population in those parts of the district where
new houses are rapidly being erected.
The Infant Welfare Centres have, as in previous years, been
carried on very economically owing to the ready assistance which
ladies in the town have voluntarily given. At the Ilford Lane
Centre one of the ladies has carried on a clothing club since 1921,
to which mothers can contribute small sums weekly and withdraw
the whole or part of their contributions as necessity arises. At
the end of 1925 £30 had been saved by 50 mothers.
