Wilson, all of whom have been engaged in this work
for some considerable time, have been able to continue
their work during the current year. The continuity
of tenure of such offices is a very great asset, and one
which in many boroughs, owing to the comparatively
low salaries paid for such officers, appears to be impossible
of attainment. In Fulham we are fortunate,
in that our physicians at these centres do take a very
real interest in the work and co-operate to the fullest
extent with the various institutions, the officers of the
voluntary % committee and with the Health Visitors.
For particulars as to the various centres, etc., a reference
should be made to my annual report for 1922.
