Maternity Hospital (Voluntary) 19 beds
(In addition there are 2 labour wards and 1
isolation ward).
Public Health Act, 1936, Sec. 187/195. Nursing
Homes.
Two nursing homes were registered during 1938,
and two were voluntarily closed. There are at the
present time 8 nursing homes on the register.
Nursing homes are inspected quarterly and there
have been no matters which have called for report to
the Local Authority.
The following tabulation gives particulars of maternity
and nursing homes registered by the Local
Authority as at the 31st December, 1938, and for convenience
of recording I have included the two general
hospitals, which are exempt from registration under the
provisions of the Act.
