It will be observed that the attendances are, with one exception,
lower than those for last year. This may be accounted for by the
formation of a new Health Visitor district, and the subsequent
rearrangement of the existing districts. The, total number of
attendances has gone up from 19,212 in 1945, to 20,814 in 1946.
Attached is a Table showing the attendances at all Clinics and

The numbers of mothe,rs and children seen and treated at the
