IMMUNISATION.
During the year, 326 children were immunised against
Diphtheria for the first time, 188 at Clinics, and 138 privately
by their medical attendants. A further 102 children under
the age of 3 years received a full course of combined Diphthoria
and Whooping Cough injections. In addition to these, 496
re-inforcing injections against Diphthoria wore given, mostly
in our schools. This is by far the highest total yet achieved
in the district.
THE NATIONAL ASSISTANCE ACT, 1948.
SECTION 47. REMOVAL TO SUITABLE PREMISES OF PERSONS IN
NEED OF CHARE AND ATTENTION.
No formal action was taken under this section.
Several cases wore met with where elderly
persons were found to bo living in such circumstances as to
require further core and attention, but they were invariably
either anxious to remove to a different environment, or
could bo easily persuaded, and formal action was quite
unnecessary. The problem arose in securing the suitable
accommodation.
