These clinics are to enable children who are too old to be brought
regularly to the infant welfare sessions to be kept under medical supervision
and, as contrasted with the infant welfare clinics, only those who have
been given an appointment can be seen.
Family Planning Association Clinic
The help given by those at the Birth Control Clinic which has been
held over the years, had to to be restricted to advising those in whose
case further pregnancy would be detrimental to their health. The clinics
provided by the Family Planning Association are free from this limitation.
When the Family Planning Association opened a clinic in this area, the
question was whether the local authority clinic would be needed. On the
Committee's being satisfied that those who would have benefitted by
attending their clinics could be helped in exactly the same way at the
Family Planning Association clinic, they decided there was no point in
continuing to hold it so the last session was held on the 9th May, 1958.
The Family Planning Association clinic proved so popular that additional
sessions had to be held, so the clinic is now open at Elmwood Avenue on
Monday evenings and on Thursday afternoons.
Many of the services which are today provided by local authorities
or even by the State had their origin in voluntary efforts. These bodies are
free from the restrictions inherent in the arrangements made by local or
central authorities, and can experiment more freely. So often, once the
need for the services has been proved by the trial and experiment of
voluntary agencies, the local authorities have taken over the services.
What has happened here in regard to this clinic is the unusual course of a
clinic successfully run for over twenty years by the Authority but run
within the framework of the powers granted by the Ministry, being
handed over to the management and responsibility of a voluntary body.
The Marriage Guidance Council now have their offices at 7 Lyon
road, Harrow. (HAR. 8694).
