Service and appreciation is continually being expressed both by
the relatives and by the hospital authorities for the smooth running
of this Ealing service.
It was decided during the year not to extend the service to
take a similar type of laundry from the Borough of Wembley but
to confine the implementation of Section 84 of the Public Health
Act to those persons resident in the Borough of Ealing.
The repair of the garments dealt with by the above service
is quickly and efficiently carried out in a "back room" at the
Town Hall. There, for several hours every Wednesday morning
a group of ladies give their time and skill voluntarily to render this
very valuable service to the aged. Many thanks are due to them
and to their Organiser, Miss I. Gerty.
