New babies attending for the first time numbered 569, which
represents 70% of the registered births.
The infant welfare clinics now fall into two categories.
The ordinary consultation clinics for children of any age up
to 5 years, and special toddler clinics, first instituted in 1935,
for the annual medical examination of pre-school children in
their 3rd, 4th and 5th years. The attendances at both types
of clinics are shown separately in tables XI and XII, from
which it will be noted that both have been well attended.
The average attendance at the infant consultation clinic
was 73, a high figure, and the average attendance at the
special toddler clinics slightly less than 20, which is as many as
can be dealt with adequately at these clinics where a comprehensive
medical examination is undertaken. '
The site for the new clinic in Camborne Road has been
acquired by the Council, and plans for the building are now
being considered.
The present programme of clinics is shown on page 27.

(A primary post-natal visit is the visit of a post-natal woman who
has not attended previously either ante-natally or post-natally, so that
the figures for primary attendances of individuals represents1 the
number of new cases during the year).
