The transfer was accordingly made on the 20th March, 1933,
and these premises have been used for Maternity and Child

area.
As from April, 1933, a scheme for the routine examination of
children under 5 years of age was put into practice.
A register was made shewing the date of birth of every child
in the District under 5 years of age. Those children who need
the help of the Council's Maternity and Child Welfare Service
have been sent for periodically for routine examination.
Each child under the age of 5 years now receives an invitation
on its birthday and six months later to attend at one of the Clinics
for a routine examination, and the following are the types of cards
that are sent
