MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
In the Annual Report for 1925 a general outline was given of

to the areas of Hanwell and Greenford, which were added to the
Borough on the 1st October, recommendations were made to the
Council in a Special Report on the subject. The recommendations
contained in this Report, which is printed hereunder, were approved
by the Council and steps are being taken to give effect to them.
Report on the Scheme of Maternity and Child Welfare in the Extended
Borough.

a School Clinic should be formed at Cherington Road in the building
recently used as the Hanwell Council Offices. This Centre would
deal with the Hanwell North and Hanwell South Wards and partly
with the Grosvenor and Greenford Wards. Perhaps some mothers
in the Grosvenor and Greenford Wards may desire to attend the

each week, should be established at Aberdeen House in the office
recently used by the Surveyor to the Greenford Council. This
would serve as a temporary arrangement until the demands of
that area necessitate a new and much larger Centre. Aberdeen
House as a whole cannot readily be adapted to form a suitable
permanent Welfare Centre and School Clinic, and, as the position
will not be a convenient one to serve the whole of Greenford as it
