The arrangement with the L.C.C. whereby that
authority pays for the milk supplied to mothers
and children who are on Public Assistance, was
continued during the year, the refund amounting
to £.383. The scheme involves a great deal of clerical
labour which might well be reduced if the L.C.C.
would allow us to adopt a simpler method of
accounting in the matter.
SUPPLY OF DRIED MILKS, Etc.
Apart from the milk issued free or at half-price,
dried milk of various brands, labelled specially to
the Council's directions to avoid the use of trade
names, is sold to the mothers a little above cost
price. The amount sold during the year was as
follows :—
Dried Milk 11,056 lbs.
NURSING ASSISTANCE.
A scheme of home nursing has been in operation
for some years by arrangement with a voluntary
organisation, the Shoreditch and Bethnal Green
Nursing Association.
