(iii) Ante-Natal Services.
The Ante-Natal Centre is held fortnightly and serves
not only the purpose of an examination clinic, but also as a
centre of education for mothers and midwives.
A full description of the Ante-Natal Services was
given in last year's Annual Report.
Dried milk may be obtained by expectant mothers at
the Centre at cost price, and fresh milk is supplied at a
reduced cost or free in necessitous cases, in accordance with
the income scale in force.
During the year 123 expectant mothers attended,
making 320 visits to the Clinic.
(iv) The Centre.
The Centre is held at the School Clinic in Grange Road,
which was descrbed in the Annual Report for 1931.
As before, the meetings are held on Tuesday and
Fridays, when Dr. Olive Aubrey attends, and much valuable
help is given by many voluntary workers.
In necessitous cases, babies and nursing mothers are
provided with free milk on the recommendation of the presiding
medical officer.
Careful investigation is made into the circumstances of
each case to ascertain whether it falls in with the approved
scale, and when recommended it is endorsed by the Medical
Officer of Health and approved by the Committee.
Dried milk is supplied at cost price.
There is an excellent Clothing Stall at which 23 mothers
have purchased 45 garments during the year.
