We are very much aware that the changes in the social and
economic life of the community require changes in the scope of
our service. We have taken a close look at our established
patterns of work to see where we can adapt them to these new
conditions and to prepare today to meet the challenge of
tomorrow.
It is unfortunate that because of staff shortage enthusiasm
for expansion and the introduction of new mediums of service is
often frustrated through sheer weight of case loads. Meanwhile
the day to day work of advising mothers on the care of their
children, dealing with family social problems and the promotion
of health education for all age groups continues as before.
By consolidating proved and established procedures and
applying such new ideas and techniques as time may bring, we
hope in 1966 to achieve the maximum beneficial impact on the
community.
Figures of work carried out are shown in Appendix, page 110.
