The scheme is as follows:—
Two Clinics weekly at the Congregational Hall. Douglas Road,
Hounslow, on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
Two Clinics weekly at the Public Hall, Isleworth, on Monday
and Wednesday afternoons.
One Clinic weekly at Heston Parish Hall, on Tuesday afternoons.
At each of these Clinics infant consultations are carried out.
Babies and toddlers are regularly weighed. Dried milks, malt,
virol, etc., are on sale as directed by the Medical Officer.
The Mothers can obtain a cup of tea and biscuits at a cost of 1d.
The attendances totalled 17,667 for the year, as compared with
