The atmosphere of helpfulness and kindness created by the
Matron, Nursing Staff and lecturers at the Mothercraft classes,
has been appreciated by the patients and has had an influence
of value in the work of the Hospital.
M embers of the staff of the Domestic Science Department of
the South-West Essex Teohnical College have contributed to our
Mothercraft work and our appreciation and thanks are extended
to them.
A full statistical and clinical report has, as usual, been
prepared, and is available for medical reference. A summary
