In Great Britain there are 470 salaried Health Visitors actually at work in 195
different localities ; of these 350 are paid entirely out of the rates, 38 partly out of the
rates, while 82 others draw a salary from some philanthropic organisation co-operating
with the local authority.
I append a table showing the number of health visitors employed in the other
metropolitan districts, some of the suburban districts and the principal provincial
towns.
Table taken from the report of the Medical Officer of the Local Government
Board on Infantile Mortality, showing variations of Infant Mortality, 1907-10,
in the different Metropolitan Boroughs.
