(x) Services provided and Facilities for Treatment.—It is convenient to set these
out in tabular form, although of course some of them are mentioned elsewhere in
the Report.
Ante-Natal Clinics Ante-Natal Clinics are held each week at three
different centres, and a Specialist-Consultant
holds one session per month during ten months
of the year.
Baths ... ... ... ... In certain necessitous cases, free baths are provided
for expectant and nursing mothers at the East
Street Baths. During 1934 no baths were
granted free of charge.
Convalescent Treatment Convalescent treatment is provided for toddlers
for mothers and babies, on the recommendation
of Medical Officers at the Infant Welfare Clinics.
Charges are made to the parents in accordance
with the Council's scale. During 1934, 14
toddlers, one mother, and 11 mothers with
babies received treatment under this scheme.
