In December, the new Northolt Grange Clinic came into
operation. There has long been a need for a clinic in
this area where there is a Council estate of 1,379 houses
as well as 838 private dwellings. Provision of a clinic
was under consideration as long ago as 1948, but until
now we have had to suffice with an improvised clinic held
in a Community Centre in the area. In addition to provisions
for ante-natal and infant welfare sessions the
Clinic has facilities for dental treatment, including
orthodontics. A Child Guidance Clinic is incorporated. I
am confident that the provision of this Clinic will enable
us to give a much better service to the families in the
area.
DOMICILIARY MIDWIFERY SERVICE.
There is a staff of 12 midwives in Ealing.
There were 851 home confinements in Ealing in 1960
compared with 725 in 1959, which is in keeping with the
National trend. The number of pupil midwives who received
district training during the year was 25.
All midwives are trained in the use of Trilene and
gas and air Analgesia for mothers in labour, and in the
use of small oxygen cylinders should any baby have
