Visiting in the Home Periodic visits are paid by the Health Visitors to
all children under the age of five years and to all
foster-children under the age of nine years.
Visits are also paid in certain cases to expectant
mothers. (See page 77 for further particulars.)
X-Ray Treatment Where necessary, ringworm is treated by X-ray.
No charge is made for this treatment; During
the year one child under the age of five years
was so treated.
The way in which anyone can avail herself of any of these Services is to ask the
Health Visitor for the district, or to attend at an Infant Welfare Centre, or, where
this is not practicable or there is any emergency, to make an enquiry at the offices
of the Public Health Department—Central Hall Chambers, East Street, Barking.
