Free milk is only given after a full enquiry into the circumstances
of the family and subject to the total weekly income falling
within the scale laid down by the Council.
A stock of dried milks and milk foods is kept at the Centre and
sold to Mothers attending the Centre at cost price. During the
year £500 worth of these milk foods were sold.
Dental Treatment.—Provision is made for the dental treatment
of Expectant Mothers, and of young children up to the age of 5
years. The School Dentist gives Saturday mornings to this work,
and the following Report indicates the amount of dental treatment
of Mothers and young children during the year.
I append below the report of the work done during the year
under the above Scheme.
This work is increasing greatly, and it has been impossible to
confine all of it to Saturday mornings only, and I suggest that for
purposes of estimating the cost of this work that a further 24
sessions should be added to the 48 Saturday morning sessions.
