NURSING.
Professional home nursing is not undertaken by the Borough
Council, but the Benson Home for Nurses provides nursing in the Newington
district, and the sum of £400 per annum is granted towards their
funds. In other districts the Ranyard Nurses cover a large area, while
several parishes have their own private nurse.
No special Nurses are employed for infectious diseases, nor are midwives
subsidised or employed by the Borough Council. The General
Lying-in Hospital, York Road the Obstetric Wards at Guy's, and King's
College Hospitals, and the wards of Southwark Hospital, are sufficient to
meet the requirements of the district without the necessity of a local
Maternity Home.
CHEMICAL WORK.
The Analytical work and Chemical work under the Food and Drugs
Act and various Milk Regulations, the Bacteriological work for Infectious
Diseases and Tuberculosis, are carried out by the Borough Analyst, whose
report is incorporated with the Public Health report.
ACTS AND BYE LAWS.
There are no local Acts, but the London County Council Bye-laws
are enforced (as also are local Bye-laws concerning Underground rooms,
Houses Let in Lodgings and others).
No midwives are employed by, or subsidised by the Borough
Council,
