INFANT WELFARE CENTRES.
There are eight voluntary infant welfare centres in Kensington and one branch centre. The
borough has been mapped out into a similar number of areas with one centre in each, an attempt
having been made to place each home in the area of that centre which is most accessible to the
mother.
