The Borough of Hendon (Woodside Park) Compulsory
Purchase Order, 1935.
In order to deal with the services required for this rapidly
growing portion of the Borough the Corporation made an
Order under the Public Works Facilities Act of 1930 for the
acquisition of land enabling it to provide for the following:—
1. A new road to connect Lullington Garth and Frith
Lane.
2. Sites for the following adjacent to the new road:—
(a) An elementary school.
(b) A small Public Open Space.
(c) A Branch Library.
(d) A Maternity and Child W'elfare Clinic.
MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
There have been during the year several minor additions to
your Maternity and Child Welfare Scheme which have had the
effect of making improvement in detail.
Your Maternity and Child Welfare Services were inspected
by an official of the Ministry of Health and as a result a report
was received in which it was stated that—"The Minister notes
with satisfaction the steady development of the services co-incident
■with the growth of poptdation of the Borough. The following
matters are, however, suggested for the Council's consideration:—
1. That a greater co-operation of midwives with the work of
the ante-natal clinics might be secured by the adoption
of arrangements, similar to those made by other Local
Authorities, for the payment of the compensation to midwives
whose patients attend an ante-natal clinic on their
advice arid are subsequently admitted, to a hospital or
home for confinement on the recommendation of the
medical officer of the clinic.
As a result the Council decided that compensation of one
guinea be paid to midwives under these circumstances.
