It will be seen that the attendances have more than
doubled in the last six years.
The average attendances per session during the year 1931. were
as follows:—
At Douglas Road Centre 90.0
At Isleworth Centre 54.8
At Heston Centre 57.5
Approximately 69 per cent. of the children born in the district
attend at one of the Infant Welfare Centres before they are a year
old, an increase of 9 per cent. over last year's figure.
The number of individual mothers and children attending the
Clinics is shewn hereunder:—

The comments I made last year on preputial adhesions still
hold, with only one difference, that whereas in these cases last
year every one of them had been seen by a woman medical officer
who was unmarried, this year, in one case only at one Clinic,
where the child had been seen before coming into this district,
apparently the medical officer was a married woman.
