Lambeth Milk Assistance Scheme (Free & Aided Supplies).
The Lambeth Milk Assistance Scheme continues to prove its
usefulness in providing milk food in its most suitable form for
young children whose parents are unable to secure it of their own
resources. The bulk of the milk supplied is in liquid form and
pasteurised. Milk is now available within the income scale for
expectant mothers throughout pregnancy, for nursing mothers for
one year after confinement if their medical condition requires it,
and for infants up to the age of five years. The scale of income
is as follows :—
