Toddlers.
At four of the Infant Welfare Centres in Camberwell special
medical sessions are conducted for children between 18 months and
5 years of age. It is to be regretted that these clinics have not met
with the success they deserve, and in the case of the St. Luke's
Centre, the authorities have decided to discontinue the session in
view of the continued fall in the number of attendances.
