4. Nursing Attendance.
As a temporary measure, and until it is seen how this work
is likely to develop, it is suggested that the Maternity and Child
Welfare Committee be requested to sanction the attendance of one
of the resident nurses to assist the doctor at this clinic.
5. Equipment and Material.
The purchase of:—
(i.) Certain equipment, say £6.
(ii.) Schick and inoculation
material, say £100 for the first year.
(It is estimated that for material alone it will cost for testing
and immunising each patient approximately five shillings.)
6. Estimated Cost.
The total cost of the service for one year would be approximately
£188.
7. Consent of Parent or Guardian.
Before any injection is made it is necessary to obtain the consent
of the parent or guardian, preferably in writing. A form will
be drawn up for this purpose which only requires the signature of
parent or guardian.
8. Records.
A card index will be kept of each child immunised and tested
with a record of previous and subsequent infectious disease, etc.
I am, Sir, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your Obedient Servant,
W. ALLAN YOUNG,
Medical Officer of Health.
