In addition there were 141 prophylactic treatments and other operations
carried out in the case of expectant and nursing mothers at day sessions
and 155 at evening sessions.
The total number of sessions held for expectant and nursing mothers
and children under five years of age was 97½, 50 during the day and 47½
in the evenings.
Distribution of National Welfare Foods.
The distribution of national welfare foods (National Dried Milk,
orange juice, cod liver oil and vitamin tablets) to beneficiaries has continued
to be the responsibility of the local health authorities under the National
Health Service.
Provision has been made at the new Kenwood Gardens Clinic, now in
course of erection for a food store and office, to replace the present accommodation
in the former Ambulance Station, Clarks Road, and for a distribution
centre to replace the one now operating at the Public Health Offices.
It is hoped that this new accommodation will be ready towards the end of
1959.
