Ante-Natal Clinic.
An ante-Natal Clinics was held at the White Hart Lane Welfare
Centre every Friday afternoon and for one hour on Tuesday afternoons.
The number of expectant mothers seen by the Medical
Officer was 257 and the total attendances made numbered 980.
The remainder of the Tuesday afternoon Clinic was allotted
to Post-Natal cases, the number seen being 80 and the attendances
96.
Toddlers' Clinic.
A special Clinic for Toddlers has been held one afternoon per
month since the beginning of November where children between the
ages of two and five years are subjected to medical inspection. The
attendances so far have been satisfactory, and it is hoped that by
this means a considerable proportion of children will have at least
one medical inspection before attaining school age.
Maternity Hospital Provision.
Arrangements are in force with three hospitals, namely, the
Mothers' Hospital, Clapton, the Royal Northern Hospital, Holloway,
and the City of London Maternity Hospital for the admission
of cases from the Wood Green Centres. 20 oases were sent to these
maternity hospitals during the year.
Dental Clinic.
Expectant and nursing mothers and children under school age
in need of dental treatment can obtain such treatment from the
Dental Surgeon at Stuart Villa on Tuesday afternoons, when
recommended by the Medical Officer at the Child Welfare Centres.
