Institution Deaths 26 (Paddington Infirmary 19).
Maternity and Child Welfare Centres.
These are provided by the Paddington School for Mothers, which is a voluntary society
financed by voluntary contributions and by grants from the Paddington Borough Council
and the Ministry of Health.
The following is a brief account of the activities of the Paddington School for Mothers.
Headquarters: 232, Harrow Road, W. 2.
Established 1910, when the Paddington Health Society was divided into two distinct
bodies for dealing with Tuberculosis and Infant Welfare, the latter being the Paddington
School for Mothers.
The Birth Visiting was performed by the School's qualified Visitors until 1913, when,
owing to the great increase in the work, for which only voluntary funds were then available,
the Birth Visiting was taken over by the Borough Council, who appointed their first Health
Visitor for that purpose.
