PROFESSIONAL NURSING IN THE HOME
(a) General.—Arrangements are in force with the Ranyard
Mission by which the services of three 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 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.
By means of subscriptions, donations and other local means, a
further £397 15s. Od. was added to this amount during the year.
The Ranyard District Nurses are:—
Miss Bradley, 24, Allerton Road, N. 16.
Miss Barker, 86, Carysfort Road, N. 16.
Miss Fuller, 15, Grayling Road, N. 16.
Necessitous cases receive free attention, but in other cases a
fee, in aid of the Mission funds, is charged according to means.
