(a) The Invalid Children's Aid Association - Miss Lewis, the
Secretary, has kindly contributed the following rerort:-
The number of children sent away last year doubled itself:
there were 106 as compared with 53 in 1941 and 52 in 1940. There was
very great difficulty in placing the children owing to lack of
accommodation and infection in the Homes. The ssociation is making
every effort to remedy this deficiency, but suitable houses have,
for the most part, been taken by the Government and children have
often to wait as long as two months for a bed - a situation which
defeats the intention of the referring doctors.
A very satisfactory feature in spite of wat conditions, is the
low number of children referred suffering from anaemia, debility and
malnutrition. Those with advanced heart disease have become rare.
