SUMMARY OF ANTE-NATAL WORK.
(Miss Boyd.)
Visits paid—
Ante-Natal 116
Number of Attendances at Ante-Natal Clinic 27
Miss Boyd is Superintendent Health Visitor, and visits
sick children between ages of 1 and 5. Records of these cases
are now being kept. There were no operation cases attending
the Clinic.
The attendances at the Pre-Natal Clinic is very low. So
far as I can gather there were only 35 mothers attending this
Centre, whereas the number of births were over 500. I am
quite satisfied that we are not getting the best out of the work
at the Pre-Natal Clinic. I have had a meeting with the local
doctors, and we have drawn up a scheme which I shall shortly
put before the Committee to improve the attendances.
Day Nurseries.
(None).
School Clinics.
These are under the control of the Middlesex County
Education Committee, and are held at the Beaconsfield Road
School, Southall.
Tuberculosis.
The Tuberculosis Dispensary is held at Ealing, under the
jurisdiction of the Middlesex County Council.
Venereal Disease.
The County Council have made arrangements for the.
treatment of this disease at various London Hospitals.
