Nursing Homes.
There are no Nursing Homes in the Borough registered by the
County Council under the Nursing Homes Registration Act, 1927
(now Part XI of the Public Health (London) Act, 1936).
There are two Exempted Premises, viz., St. Barnabas Home,
14, Lloyd Square, W.C., and St. Faith's Home, 2, Myddelton
Square, E.C. This latter is a home for unmarried mothers. Last
year, at the request of the County Council, all the medical
practitioners in the neighbourhood were asked to report to the
Department or direct to the County Council any unregistered
nursing homes of which they were aware.
Conference—Maternity & Child Welfare.
Delegates attending this Conference paid a visit to the
Day Nursery, Welfare Centres and the Swimming Baths, and were
greatly impressed by the activities of the Council.
A special brochure was prepared for the information of the
delegates.
Post-Graduate Course.
Your Medical Officer of Health attended the first postgraduate
course for Medical Officers of Health, organised by
the Society of Medical Officers of Health, at Cardiff from 28th
September to 1st October.
It was a great success and proved most useful and informative.
