(k) Provision of Milk, Dinners and Subsidiary Foods.
The Scale of charges in operation for Maternity
treatment and other allied sendees, has been adopted
for the provision of Milk, Dinners and subsidiary
food products.
Previously the National Scale in use for the issue
of Government milk and vitamins had been applied,
and with this change a uniform scale is now in operation
for all our Maternity and Child Welfare Services.
During the year the demand for the supply of
Milk, Dinners, etc., has greatly increased.
