Hospital Provision.

Council maintain a Joint Hospital for treatment of infectious cases.
The Acton Voluntary Hospital treats both surgical and medical
cases, as does the Central Middlesex County Hospital which is

MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
Four centres were open all the year for Infant Welfare Clinics:
(1) At School Clinic, Avenue Road. (Two Health Visitors's
districts served at this Centre.)
(2) At Rothschild Road School.
(3) At John Perryn School.
(4) At St. Gabriel's Church Hall, Noel Road.
At all Centres during the year it was found necessary to open relief
sessions, and in this way each Health Visitor had one session weekly
with a doctor in attendance and one with no doctor in attendance.
It will thus be seen that, in all, 10 weekly child welfare clinics were
held. Weekly average attendances at the various centres were as
follows:
Central district 64
South East district 82
North West district 69
South West -district 71
North East district 74
A representative from the Food Office attended the Clinic for each
district weekly, and cod liver oil and fruit juices were sold at each
centre.
Attached is a table showing the attendances at these Clinics,
and also the visits paid by the Health Visitors to the homes.
