Health Centre.
In this building, referred to at the beginning of the report,
the majority of the Public Health Services have been centralised,
with the exception of the Council's two Maternity and Child Welfare
Centres which are accommodated in comparatively new premises,
and the Day Nursery which is situated in Lloyd Baker Street.
First Floor.—On the top floor will be found the Administrative
Department: on one wing the offices of the Medical Officer of Health
the Deputy Medical Officer of Health, who is also the Tuberculosis
Officer and the Assistant Medical Officer for Maternity and Child
Welfare, the Assistant Administrative Officer, the clerical staff, the
Vaccination Officer, the Senior Sanitary Inspector, and the District
and Special Sanitary Inspectors.
The centre wing comprises a Lecture Hall, to accommodate
80 persons, Male and Female Staff Rooms, and the office of the
Health Visitors and Lady Sanitary Inspector.
A roof terrace has been provided on this wing for the use of
the staff of the Department.
On the other wing there is a two-bedroom flat for the use of
Caretaker, and a Reception House or Shelter for the accommodation
of families when required during the disinfection of their rooms after
the removal of cases of infectious disease. The Shelter comprises
Male and Female Wards, a communal kitchen, male and female
bathrooms and sanitary accommodation. The approach is distinct
from that to the Clinics and Administrative Offices.
Ground Floor.—On the ground floor are situated the various
clinic rooms providing up-to-date facilities for the practice of preventive
medicine in all its branches. In one wing we find a modern
dental surgery, with X-ray facilities and a Mechanic's room, where
patients attending the Municipal Dispensary, Maternity and Child
Welfare patients and others are able to obtain dental treatment,
including dentures at a cost according to their circumstances.
