Professional nursing in the home is carried out by eight
district nursing associations which are separate entities serving
different parts of the Horough but are co-ordinated to some
extent under the Central Committee for Hendon District
Nursing Associations on which the Council are represented by
Alderman W. M. Maughan, J.P. (Chairman of the Public
Health and Medical Services Committee), Alderman J. J.
Copestake and the Medical Officer of Health.
The Council make a grant of £200 per annum to this
Committee for distribution amongst the constituent associates
for work carried out under the Council's Maternity and Child
Welfare Scheme. The following table shows the number of
cases and visits made on behalf of the Hendon Rorough
