SECTION G.
MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
The various activities under the Maternity and Child Welfare
Scheme continue to be utilised and appreciated by the Mothers
attending the Centres and Clinics.
During the last few years the Council has received an increasing
number of non-residents in the Maternity Home and in many
instances the mothers, after confinement, have expressed a wish to
be allowed to attend the Welfare Centres. Such cases have been
generally referred to attend the Centres in their own area. It was
felt however, that the additional number of cases could be easily
dealt with by the existing staff, and towards the end of the year the
Council decided to grant such facilities.
Infant Welfare Consultations.—These consultations are held
each afternoon as set out hereunder, and there has been no change
in any particular from that described last year.

attendance.
