The fee paid by the Council is Is. for each visit and
during the year these fees amounted to £78 payable
by the Public Health Committee and £50 13s. payable
by the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee. Half
of this latter sum is repaid to the Borough Council
by the Ministry of Health.
The number of visits paid during they ear was as
follows :—

The work carried out by these District Nurses is
most valuable and the Borough Council were extremely
fortunate in being able to come to a satisfactory
arrangement with the Association. The district nurses
work in the closest possible association with the Public
Health Department, and Miss Watson, the Superintendent,
is always most willing to let us have reports
as to the progress of cases or any other information which
we may require.
