PROFESSIONAL NURSING IN THE HOME
(a) General.—Arrangements are made with the Ranvard
Mission by which the services of two full-time district nurses are
utilised in the borough for general nursing and for the nursing of
children under five years of age. The Council has made an annual
grant of £50 to the Association since 1919, when only one district
nurse was employed and the work has now increased to such an
extent that three full-time nurses are now necessary. In view of the
additional nursing assistance provided the Council increased the
contribution to the Ranyard Nursing Association from £50 to £100
per annum, as from the 1st April, 1936.
