The Nursing Service is supported by voluntary contributions
from various organisations in the District and a very substantial
allowance from the Charity Trustees. A small charge is made for
the nurses' visits, as no part of the cost of the Service can be derived
from the Rates.
Both the nurses are kept well employed, and their services are
much appreciated throughout the District.
(b) Infectious Cases.
*
It has not been found necessary to appoint a special nurse for
nursing patients suffering from Infectious Disease.
Midwives.
Before 1921, an arrangement was made for a subsidy of £1 1s.
per quarter to be paid to each of two Midwives (one on the east,
and one on the west side of the District) in addition to their regular
fee for attendance on any case when employed by the Council.
This arrangement is still in force.
The number of midwives practising in the District during 1921
was 8, and during 1925 11.
