SECTION C
HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED BY MIDDLESEX
COUNTY COUNCIL
AMBULANCE FACILITIES
The Middlesex County Council is responsible for this service.
NURSING IN THE HOME
This service is administered locally by the Middlesex County
Council.
The number of sick persons under care in Acton during the year
was 923 necessitating 32,378 visits.
MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE
In June, we were fortunately able to fill two vacant posts in
the Health Visitor establishment, relieving a staff shortage which
had existed for over twelve months, and this enabled us to make
further use of Pierrepoint Road Clinic by adding a fourth Child
Welfare session. Home visiting shows a corresponding increase
following the recruitment of new staff.
