NURSING IN THE HOME.
As regards Nursing in the Home, the Council have
been particularly interested in the two Nursing Associations
in the district—the Wembley District Nursing Association
and the Kingsbury District Nursing Association. Both these
Associations are affiliated to the Queen's Institute of District
Nursing.
The happy relationship between the Council and the
Associations has remained, and early in 1937 an arrangement
that the Council pay for certain nursing services given
by the Association was made. Further details concerning
this, however, will fall to be mentioned in the Report for
1937. The Council contributed £150 to the Wembley
Association and £50 to the Kingsbury Association during
the year. The public health value of the work of both
Associations is undoubted.
The Associations have kindly supplied the following
figures relating to their work in 1936:—
