WELFARE FOODS
The Welfare Foods Order, 1971, came into effect on 4th April, 1971.
This Order discontinued the issue of cheap welfare milk to expectant
mothers and young children and extended the provision of free milk and
welfare foods in large and in low income families.
Also in 1971, cod liver oil and orange juice were phased-out
during the year, being replaced by vitamin A, D and C drops for children
and reconstituted A, D and C tablets for mothers.
Welfare foods and nutrients are sold at Child Health Centres during
infant welfare sessions and also at Central Clinic on Wednesday
afternoons.
During the year, the following amounts of welfare foods were issued:
National Dried Milk 4,328 packets
Cod Liver Oil 1,290 bottles
Vitamin A and D tablets 1,778 packets of 20
Orange Juice 35,745 bottles
Vitamin Drops 2,972 bottles
