All foster mothers are urged to attend the Council's welfare centres with the
children in their charge, and it is pleasing to record that, with very few exceptions,
every child is now regularly attending an infant welfare centre. Special care is
taken to see that children who are weak and ailing attend the centres. During
the year one nurse infant died from gastritis. No inquest was held.
Under the Children's Act, 1932, general hospitals are not exempt as they were
under the Children's Act of 1908. An application was received from the Management
of the Woolwich War Memorial Hospital asking for exemption and the Council
decided to grant a certificate of exemption.
Scheme under Local Government Act, 1929.—Under Section 101 (6) of the
above Act, a scheme providing for payment to voluntary institutions is made every
three years by the Minister of Health. The scheme made in 1932, like the one in
1929, includes two schedules—the first defining the Associations to which the London
County Council shall contribute, and the second, those to which the Metropolitan
Borough Councils contribute. In tabular form is set out below the reference to
Woolwich in the scheme :—
