Maternity and Child Welfare.
Although we have two Maternity and Child Welfare Centres
in the District we depend chiefly for carrying out the spirit of the
work in this department on visits by a well-informed and tactful
Health Visitor, who, although constantly referring the mothers to
the family doctor is herself able to do a vast amount of practical and
educational good in the course of her daily rounds.
