Mothercraft and Relaxation Classes
Classes covering these subjects were commenced in Purley at
the end of 1953 and the numbers attending have increased very
rapidly. Expectant mothers wishing to join these classes should
make application to the Divisional Health Visitor at 115 Brighton
Road, Purley, who will inform them as soon as a vacancy occurs.
School Health Service
The basis of this service is the periodical medical and dental
inspection of all the children in attendance at the local schools
who, in this Division, now number over 15,000 compared with
7,490 in 1946. Some of the defects noted need to be kept under
observation and others are referred for treatment by private
doctors, hospitals or specialist clinics. Among the clinics organised
are the dental, eye, speech, general medical, child guidance and
remedial exercise clinics.
Special attention is given to handicapped children, some of
whom require to be admitted to special schools, e.g. those for the
deaf and mentally or physically sub-normal.
Health Centre for the Elderly
This Centre at Purley Clinic was opened on 4th February,
1963, a letter having previously been sent to the local medical
practitioners explaining the aims and objects of this new venture
which are simply to help elderly people remain well and active for
as long as possible.
The Old People's Welfare Committee and W.V.S. were contacted
and the object of the scheme was explained to them and
their co-operation sought in forming a panel of advisers on local
social services and a committee to purchase and sell at cost price
various dietary supplements and vitamin preparations.
