Health Visiting
Despite considerable staff shortages our Health Visiting Service
continued to give a priority care to the ante-natal mother, the
new-born infant and the pre-school child. Within this range, a
growing preventive service diminishes the effect of risk periods
throughout the remainder of life for, undoubtedly, healthy physical,
mental and emotional development at the beginning of
existence increases an individual's quality potential.
Home visiting gives families the time and opportunity to discuss
their problems and anxieties with a health visitor who is able to
help them express their feelings and to assess their need for
counsel.
