Blind Persons Acts, 1920/38
The work of ascertainment and medical examination has
continued and blind persons are under the constant supervision
and care of Miss Kingston. Lectures and instruction in Moon
and Braille are given during the day, and evening visits are paid
when required. All blind persons and dependants are now
entitled to free medical treatment under the Council's Social
Welfare Domiciliary Medical Service Scheme.
A tribute is due to the local Welfare Association for their
interest and Social activities on behalf of the blind,
