The War-time nurseries programme was completed during the
year. There are now twelve Nurseries in the Borough; four for
children in the 0 - 5 years group; seven for children between the
ages of two and five years; and one for children in the age group
eighteen months to five years. Five of these War-time Nurseries
are provided in L.C.C. Rest Centres.
These Nurseries provide for the admission of 395 children.
Once again I wish to express my thanks to the staff of the
Department for their loyal service throughout the year, and in
particular for the manner in which they have accepted extra and
in some cases unfamiliar duties arising from the war. I also
wish to acknowledge the support and encouragement I have received
from the members of the Council and the Chairmen of the Standing
Committees in all matters relating to the duties of my appointment
as Medical Officer of Health.
I am, your obedient servant,
H. W. BARNES.
