During the year the consultant was called in on three occasions. An economic

Institutional Provision for Unmarried Mothers, Illegitimate Infants and
Homeless Children in the District.
None.
Birth Control.
The arrangement with the North Kensington Women's Welfare Centre
by which suitable patients are sent to the centre from this district, was continued
during 1936. A grant is made by the Council to the centre to cover the cost
of the services rendered.
During 1930 the total number of attendances made at the North
Kensington Women's Welfare Centre by Southall residents was 10.4. Of these,
36 were with respect to new patients and 68 were re-attendances. It is hoped
that by the autumn of 1937 a post-natal and birth-control clinic will be held
at the Manor House, thereby obviating the rather tedious travelling to
Kensington.
