PROFESSIONAL NURSING IN THE HOME.
General.—There are two district nurses employed by the Acton
Hospital. One of them is primarily engaged in district nursing
and during the year 89 persons availed themselves of her services.
The other is engaged to nurse patients who have been discharged
from the hospital.
When the second nurse was engaged, it was understood that
her services would be available, on suitable terms, for the nursing
of Measles cases. During the late epidemic, her services were
not called upon, as the Council was able to treat in the Fever Hospital
any cases, the home conditions of which were, in the opinion
of the doctor attending, such as rendered removal to hospital
desirable.
Midwives.—There are six midwives practising in the district.
The Council pays the fees of the midwives in certain necessitous
cases, and last year £6 19s. 6d. was paid in fees to midwives.
