Home Nursing.
Full details of the scheme for home nursing by the Nurses of
the two local Associations will be found in Section 2 of this Report.
Treatment of Minor Ailments.
In the majority of cases, pre-school children received treatment
for minor ailments through the local District Nursing Associations.
Such children were also treated at the London County Council School
Clinic, Kingsgate Road, which was under the management of the
Hampstead Council of Social Welfare. Upon the issue of Circular
1550 of the Minister of Health in connection with the supervision of
the health of children under school age, I reported fully on the
subject and the Nursing Associations having stated that they were
prepared to undertake this work, the Scheme of Home Nursing was
amended accordingly. Details of the arrangement with the Nursing
Associations will be found in Section 2 of this Report.
