The individual centres showing the highest percentage of babies
found healthy on their first visit were East Croydon and Woodside
(both 98), a result rather to be expected taking into consideration
the district served; Waddon and Municipal with 97 and 96 respectively
were next. The centres showing the highest percentage of
babies found ailing on their first visit were All Saints', St. Alban's,
and Boston Road, followed by Central, St. Paul's, and South
Norwood.
Breast feeding seemed most usual in babies living in the
Central, Municipal, Boston Boad and West Croydon districts, and
least usual in the Norbury and St. Paul's districts. In infants
over one year of age, attending for the first time, the highest
percentages healthy were shown by St. Oswald's (100), East Croydon
(95), and Municipal and Woodside (93) ; the highest percentages
found unhealthy were at Sylverdale (75), South Croydon
(64), Westow Street (58), and Boston Road (56).
The largest number of first attendances was recorded at the
Municipal Centre, followed by South Norwood and St. Alban's.
These centres hold two sessions weekly. Among the single session
weekly centres, the largest number of first attendances was shown
by West Croydon and East Croydon.
