SUPPLEMENT—FOR GENERAL INFORMATION
HEALTH SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE LOCAL HEALTH AUTHORITY
In Middlesex the Local Health Authority, under the National Health Service Act, is
the Middlesex County Council. They have formed ten areas in the county, Ealing and
Acton forming Area No. 7. I wish to thank the Area Medical Officer for enabling
me to give an account of these services.
MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE
Ante-Natal Clinics
Regular sessions for expectant mothers are held at the health clinics by doctors
and midwives. Arrangements are made for blood testing, chest X-rays and for
distribution of iron and vitamins. Mothers are also given the opportunity of attending
ante-natal exercises and mothercraft classes. During the year 2,125 expectant mothers
attended clinics in Ealing.
Child Welfare Clinics
Advice to mothers on the care of their children is given at Health Clinics by doctors
and health visitors. There are seven medical officers and 24 health visitors engaged in
this work in Ealing. Children are weighed at each attendance and a careful watch
kept on all aspects of their progress. Welfare and other foods are distributed. In
addition to the clinic work, home visiting by health visitors forms a useful link with
the clinics. During the year 7,532 children attended clinics in Ealing.
