BATHING FACILITIES
The services provided from the treatment centre. Seven Sisters Road, and from the
Finsbury Health Centre continued throughout the year.
4,827 baths were carried out in the homes of elderly persons under the Domiciliary
Service.
1,969 baths were given to persons attending the two centres, the department's ambulance
being used to assist those unable to travel on their own.
TASK FORCE
The local office of Task Force (an organisation set up to encourage and foster voluntary
effort among the young citizens) was opened in September 1965. Their work was continued
during 1968 and many cases were referred to them.
I should again like to place on record my sincere thanks for the sterling work that is
being undertaken by this organisation and I know that 1 am also speaking for the elderly
people of the Borough when I say that it is very much appreciated.
