Owing to the large average attendances at the
Infant Welfare Centre at Pettit Farm, the Committee
authorised an additional session to be held on Thursday
mornings; this commenced in September and the
attendances show that the new arrangement was amply
justified.
At Rush Green Clinic, which was opened in
January, 1935, the attendances have steadily mounted
and, just before writing this report, the Committee
arranged for a morning session to be held every Friday
except the first Friday in the month, when the AnteNatal
Clinic takes place.
