Recuperative Holidays
Under Sections 22 and 28 of the National Health Service Act,
recuperative holidays are provided for mothers and young children,
for the prevention of illness and for care and after care. Similar
holidays are provided under a School Health Services scheme for
children attending school. These holidays are intended to furnish
rest, fresh air and good food but not medical or nursing attention.
There was a decrease in the number of holidays provided during
the current year but, although fewer adults had holidays during
this time, there was an increasing use of the recuperative holiday
scheme by G.P.s for their elderly sick patients suffering from conditions
such as chronic bronchitis. Many of these patients have
regular winter exacerbations of acute respiratory infection.
