Owing to the great increase in the numbers attending this
Clinic the Council at its November meeting resolved to make
application to the Ministry of Health for permission to hold
another Clinic weekly at Capworth Street, and to appoint Dr.
Gazdar as medical attendant. There is no doubt this Clinic will
be a great convenience to women living in and around this
neighbourhood.
The People's Hall admirably serves those residing in the
Leytonstone area, but it is an inconvenient position for those
residing in Leyton.
Visits by Health Visitors.
The health visitors have paid 23,088 visits, of which 9,431
were visits to infants under one year of age, and 13,657 to
children between the ages of one and five years.
Maternity Hospital.
Early in the year an arrangement was made with Queen
Mary's Hospital, West Ham, for women to be received into their
Margaret Lyle Wards for their confinements.
The hospital agrees to take cases on the payment by the
Council of 7s. per diem, in addition to the maternity benefit and a
booking fee of 5s.
The benefit and booking fee being paid direct to them by the
patient.
The patient pays to the Council the 7s. per diem unless the
family income falls below the scale of necessity laid down by the
Council for the supply of free milk. The Medical Officer of
Health sanctions cases for hospital treatment and is permitted to
exercise his discretion as to modification of the patient's payment
where he considers it desirable.
