The Council's Health Visitors assist the midwifery
department of the London and other Hospitals by
reporting on the home conditions and preparations
of expectant mothers who have booked with these
hospitals for midwifery services. Liaison also exists
with the L.C.C. School Medical Service, our child
welfare records being transferred to the Divisional
Medical Officer as the children either enter school
or attain the age of 5.
The total number of outdoor visits shows a
substantial falling off compared with last year,
partly due to the welcome reduction in the number
of cases of measles, but mainly due to illness among
the staff.
