children under five years of age; certain illnesses in
expectant and nursing mothers; and certain infectious
diseases in persons under five years or more. A fee of
1/- per patient is paid for each attendance on a case,
in the first two groups by the Maternity and Child
Welfare Committee, and in the third group by the
Public Health Committee.
This Home Nursing is done by the nurses of the?
Fulham District Nursing Association, 56, Harwood
Road, Fulham, S.W.6, and the most cordial relations
exist between the Maternity and Child Welfare Department
and the Nursing Association. Miss Watson, the
Superintendent of the nurses, co-operates splendidly
with us, and we deeply appreciate the help she gives us.
The number of visits made by the Nurses under the
Council's scheme during 1930 is shown in the Table on

This Hospital has accommodation for 21 children
under five years of age and is under the control of a
