MILK ISSUES.
The only alteration in the arrangements for the issue of milk
was that, in September, it was agreed that milk be granted to
mothers of any stage of pregnancy instead of as previously in the
last three months.
The number of issues has steadily increased, the figure in
December, 1936, being 352 as compared with 236 for the corresponding
month in the previous year. Of this number 307 grants were
for pasteurized milk and 45 for packet milk.
The following is a summary of particulars of the milk issues:—

CLINIC BUILDINGS.
The sites for the new clinics selected were near the northern end
of Honeypot Lane, near Village Way and on the Kenmore Park
Estate. As a result of negotiations with the County Council with a
view to the erection of combined buildings which would house
library and school medical services in addition to the maternity and
child welfare services, not all these sites will now be used for their
intended purpose.
