The Queen's Jubilee Nurses have been very helpful in giving a
course of hot Lysol douches to each of these patients, at my suggestion.
Health visiting of patients.
This has been undertaken during the last year, most ably and
sympathetically by Mrs. Roche. I cannot speak too strongly of her
excellent work in this direction.
Co-operation with Midwives
By a special arrangement, the Queen's Jubilee Nurses in this
Borough are undertaking maternity work for the Borough Council.
They send me up all the cases that they have booked beforehand, during
pregnancy, to see. A few patients have also been sent to me by private
midwives in the Borough.
Supply of" assisted milk."
The assisted milk scheme in this Borough during the last year, when
milk has been so dear, has been of the greatest assistance in maintaining
the nutrition of the expectant mothers. Under the scheme, milk is
supplied at half price to expectant and nursing mothers, and in a few
very needy cases it is given free.
