The Health Visitors have an office in a house near the
Public Health Department. Every detail of their work is
recorded on the card index system.
In addition to their work in the District, the Health
Visitors attend the Child Welfare Clinics and the Ante-natal
and Dental Clinics.
Taking into consideration the fact that the district consists
for the greater part of detached and semi-detached
residences of modern type and that we have no slums the
services provided are sufficient at the present time.

During 1933 Mrs. Dendle continued the carrying out
of her duties as Infant Life Protection Visitor in a most
efficient manner, and details of her visits and circumstances

She resigned in March, 1933, and her duties were taken
over by a former District Nurse, Miss Oliver, who also
discharged the duties most efficiently.
