NURSING IN THE HOME.
1. General Diseases-The Greater Ealing Nursing Association
and the Northolt Nursing Association provide an admirable home
nursing service by means of which persons requiring nursing in
their own homes may receive trained assistance at a small cost or,
in the case of poor persons, free of cost. The Greater Ealing Nursing
Association has a staff of six nurses, while the Northolt Nursing
Association, which deals with the Northolt Ward only, has one
nurse. The two Associations are closely connected with the
Council's Public Health Service and receive financial support
from the Council on this account. The nurses render certain
nursing services with regard to children under five years of age
and expectant and nursing mothers. The District Nurses also
assist on certain afternoons at the Health Centres, when they
assist in the weighing of the children and in preparing them for
examination by the medical officers. During the year they made
a total of 1,176 visits to the homes of 137 cases referred to them
by the staff at the Health Centres.
