TREATMENT OF MINOR AILMENTS. - Children suffering from
simple dietetic ailments are treated at the infant welfare centres. Faci«
lities are, however, available at the sessions held for school children
at Kenwood Gardens and Mayesbrook Clinics for children under school
age to receive treatment for minor ailments, although in practice very few
so attend.
MIDWIVES. - There are 13 State Certified midwives (including
the Non-Medical Supervisor of Midwives, 10 domiciliary midwives and 1
part-time midwife employed by the County Council), resident and practising
in the district at the end of the year. In addition there were 21 (14
full-time and 7 part-time) State Certified midwives at the Ilford Maternity
Hospital.
