Infant Welfare Centres.

A Toddlers' Clinic was started by the Council of Social Welfare
on the 1st June, 1931, and is held once every two months at the Health
Institute. It is greatly to be regretted that, owing to lack of finance,
this invaluable clinic cannot be held more frequently. An excellent
recent innovation has been the formation of a Toddlers' Play Centre,
also under the auspices of the Council of Social Welfare. At this
Centre children who appear to be somewhat neglected on the arrival
of the next baby are given some opportunity for the development of
their minds, bodies and morals, by means of play and the discipline
that play involves. It is held at the Health Institute every Monday
and Friday morning, but unfortunately, owing to the limited staff, it is
impossible to arrange for the attendance of a Health Visitor.
Ante-Natal Clinics.
The two ante-natal clinics in the Borough are provided and
maintained by the Borough Council, namely:—
Western Clinic: Two sessions weekly (viz., Monday at 2 p.m.
and Thursday at 9.15 a.m.) at 75, Dynham Road. Held in the
premises rented by the Borough Council from the Health Institute
for the purpose of a Tuberculosis Dispensary.
Eastern Clinic: One session weekly (viz.,Tuesday at 2.30 p.m.)
at 27, Pond Street. Held in the premises of the Day Nursery, for
which the Borough Council pays a rent of £100 per annum.
