A few details are given in the following paragraphs concerning other work carried out
at each Centre:—
St. Pancras School for Mothers, 1, Ampthill Square.
In addition to the consultations provided by the Council, the Medical Officers have
held voluntary consultations for children from two to five years of age. At these 1,019
attendances were made.
Classes for Mothers.
At infant care classes there were 515 attendances; ante-natal care, 397 attendances;
and at needlework, etc., classes, 630 attendances.
Dinners for Mothers and Children.
These are supplied at a very small chirge for necessitous cases. 2,260 dinners were
supplied to nursing and expectant mothers, and 1,785 to young children.
Observation Day Nursery.
This is for children needing special care. There were 1,420 attendances during the
year, of which 637 were made by infants under one year of age and 783 by children over one
year.
Massage Clinic.
89 consultations were held, at which 910 attendances were recorded.
Dental Clinic.

Interviews of mothers by the Superintendent other than at clinics or classes numbered
5,569.
Argyle Square Centre.
The work of this Centre was re-organised during the year. In January a meeting was
called by the then Mayor (Alderman H. Trill, J.P., M.W. B.), as a result of which an active
voluntary committee was formed, which has done good work.
In addition to the consultations, various classes for mothers have been held.
Berkeley Road Centre.
This was opened in February, 1923, to serve the needs of the rather isolated area
situated between Gloucester Road and Regent's Park Road. It is supervised by the committee
of the Camden Road Centre, and worked by the staff of that Centre, assisted on
consultation days by one of the Town Hall health visitors.
