(b) Wembley District Nursing Association.
The staff for general sick nursing services was six and
the Association had asked the Queen's Institute of District
Nurses for an additional general nurse. There appeared to be
work for this additional nurse. The Association has in view
building a new nurses' home and has acquired a site in Copland
Avenue, Wembley.
For the purposes of the Midwives' Acts, the County Council
have arranged that the Kingsbury Association serve the four
wards—Fryent, Roe Green, The Hyde and Chalkhill, and that
the Wembley Association serve the other wards of the Borough.
The work performed in the Borough by these two Associations
cannot be over.estimated.
CLINIC SERVICES.
In April, the Council's first clinic building at One Tree Hill
was opened; at Stag Lane in July, the next building was opened;
and in October the Perrin Road clinic commenced to function.
These were notable advances in the health services of the
Borough, and now at the time of writing mention may be made
that the Monks Park clinic was opened in April, 1939, while
tenders have been accepted for both the College Road and
Church Lane clinics. A public Local Inquiry has been held by
the Ministry of Health regarding a Compulsory Purchase Order
for the acquisition of a site for the final central clinic of the
Borough in London Road.
In January, 1936, a Special Committee—The Maternity and
Child Welfare Services Investigation Sub.Committee—presented
a report dealing with the clinic services of the Council. In this
report the opinion was expressed that the time had arrived when
consideration should be given by the Council to the establishment
of permanent clinic buildings to meet the present and
future needs of the Local Authority. At that time clinic
sessions were being held in five temporarily rented premises, as
follows:—
(1) St. Andrew's Hall, Ealing Road.
(2) Wesley House, Harrow Road.
(3) Tokyngton Hall, Monks Park.
(4) Kingsbury Free Church, Slough Lane.
(5) Church Hall, Roe Green.
