much of this material falls on "stony ground"; nevertheless, in
conformity with the aims of Health Education, pressure must be
sustained in the face of continuous competition. Moreover, having

Monthly Meeting
Since the formation of the Borough in 1965, a monthly meeting
has been held to review the latest developments in health education.
Membership of the meeting consisted mainly of nursing staff. During
1967, the development of the Health Education Service reached a
point at which it was considered that other sectors of the Department,
including Public Health Inspectors and Social Workers,
should be included.
On 9th November, the inaugural session of the enlarged meeting
took place and it is hoped that a broader basis of health and welfare
teaching will flow from this development.
Teaching Techniques
A short course in successful instruction and teaching techniques
was given to interested staff during the year.
