Loans have been made to the Instructor at the Occupational
Therapy Centre to purchase wool and other materials for the use of
patients, and these amounts are repaid when the articles are sold.
Representation on the Executive Committee of the National
Assistance Board, the Women's Voluntary Service and the British
Legion has resulted in very close co-operation between all concerned
with the welfare of patients, and on many occasions the Association
has been relieved of expenditure on behalf of patients due to the
willing acceptance of responsibility for assistance by one or other
of these organisations.
The Association carries out very useful work as a Centre of
Information to which patients can refer their problems. An
important factor in this work is the close liaison which exists
between the health visitors of the Local Health Authority and the
Association, whereby necessitous cases are brought to the notice of
the Association.
