(5) NURSING ASSOCIATIONS.—
There are three organisations providing professional
nursing for the sick poor in the home—The Bromley District
Nursing Association, Bromley Common Holy Trinity Nursing
Association, and St. Luke's District Nursing Association.
Bromley District Nursing Association.—This excellent
Association employs three fully trained nurses who
undertake maternity as well as general cases. Fees are payable
for midwifery and maternity nursing according to the
patient's means, with a minimum fee of 25/- for midwifery
and 15/- fee for maternity nursing. Necessitous cases are
provided for without charge.

shown by the following tabulation extracted from the Annual
