officials of the London County Council, which Authority makes a grant
to the Home under the Local Government Act, 1929. Through the
courtesy of the Matron, I am informed, however, of the destination
of the babies who leave this Home, so that I am able to notify the
Medical Officers of Health of the Districts to which the infants
proceed. A similar arrangement exists with regard to four other
Homes in the Rorough where infants are accommodated, viz.:—
St. Agatha's House, 39, Lancaster Grove.
The Cross Roads Club, 88, Alexandra Road.
The Hampstead Hostel for Mothers and Rabies, 7, Fitzjohn's
Avenue, and
The Main Memorial Home, 141, West End Lane.
An annual inspection has been made of the 11 boarding schools
in the Rorough, where children under 9 years of age are received. In
all cases general sanitation, etc., was found to be satisfactory. It is
interesting to note that two of these boarding schools accommodate
children under three years, and more frequent visits are therefore paid
to these establishments.
One of the schools, which is a charitable institution, has been
exempted from the provisions of the Public Health (London) Act,
1936, subject to facilities being given for an annual inspection to be
made.
The Municipal Dental Clinic is held at the Public Health Station,
Lithos Road; the Dentist is Mr. Roy M. Hastings, L.D.S., R.C.S. Eng.
