many cases require a change of air and the regulation and routine
of a healthy life, has been overcome largely as the result of the
keen activity of the Local Branch of the Invalid Children's Aid
Association. Twenty-one children have been sent to Schools of
Recovery, through this Association, by arrangement with the Local
Education Authority. In addition, the very courteous co-operation
of the Association, with the Authority's Medical Officers, has
secured open-air and convalescent treatment for 42 children of
school age and for whom the Association has undertaken full
financial responsibility.
The facility and expedition with which the cases were dealt
with reflects great credit upon the administration of the Local
Branch of this Association.
