Child Health Centres.
The demand for these services which comprise the education of parents,
developmental assessment and immunisation of children has fallen again
this year. No doubt this is due in part to the increase of health visitor
attachment to general practitioners who are running their own well baby
clinics.
One new child health centre was opened to help the need of the developing
Sylvan Estate and this is proving successful.

Welfare Foods and Medicaments
There were no changes in the general arrangements to sell national dried
milk. Ministry of Food vitamin preparations, and a proprietary vitamin A & D
concentrate at Child Health Centres.
The W.R.V.S. moved their central Croydon headquarters but maintained
their service of selling these products each day from their new offices.
