STAFF
During the year, 34 whole-time members of the Health Area
Staff resigned their appointments and 42 new appointments were
made. It was found necessary to engage three additional whole-time
Domestic Helps and the Establishment of the District Nursing
Service was increased by one Senior Nurse at the Branch Home,
Handsworth Avenue.
The apparent inconsistency between the numbers of resignations
and appointments is accounted for by the difference between
the number of vacancies at the beginning and end of the year.
