by the Council for accident and illness cases is now under
the control of the Fire Brigade. Two ambulances are provided

| Accident cases | 318 |
| Illness cases | 1,261 |
| Total | 1,579 |
| Total mileage | 16,088 |
This shows an increase over 1934 of 150 cases, and an
increased mileage of 2,185.
(c) NURSING IN THE HOME.
Wembley District Nursing Association.
9,873 visits were paid during 1935.
The Home opened two years ago in Wembley Park has
proved a boon to the Association, and the five nurses in
residence are well catered for.
The Providence Scheme inaugurated just a year ago is
making progress.
The Inspector from the Queen's Institute has made her
usual visits, and has made very favourable reports.
Kingsbury District Nursing Association.
The Nurses are now accommodated in more central and
up-to-date quarters. The number of visits made during the
year totalled 4,937.
The good work carried out by these Associations is of
much value to the residents of the district.
