At the time of the transfer, the Voluntary Helpers were distributing
the foods at the Infant Welfare Centres whilst sessions were in progress
there and ccrtain members of the Women's Voluntary Services were issuing
the foods from their homes. These ladies very kindly agreed to continue
to give their services in this work. Further, the Women's Voluntary Services
have, since the 10th March, 1955, brought a Mobile Depot into operation
on the Padnall Estate, fortnightly visits being made there.

with regard to the national welfare foods has been fully integrated with
that of the distribution of nutrients and medicaments which has been in
operation in the maternity and child welfare service for many years.
