A Toddlers' Clinic, i.e., a separate clinic for children between
18 months and five years, is held once a fortnight at Windham
Road.
By having separate sessiotis for the Toddlers it is hoped to
keep in regular touch with many of these children until they reach
school age when they are of course seen by me as School Medical
Officer.
During the year the attendances at the Centres were : —
Windham Road.
Mothers ... 5,070 Average per session ... 31
Children ... 5,853 „ ,, ,, ... 36
The Medical Officer of Health held 2,469 consultations during
the year.
Trefoil House, Petersham.
Mothers ... 657 Average per session ... 25
Children ... 741 ,, „ „ ... 28
Dr. Cryer, the Medical Officer, held 607 consultations during
the year.
I have again to express my thanks to the voluntary workers at
both Centres for their valuable assistance week by week. They
include Mrs. Hazelby and Mrs. Sprague (who are co-opted members
on the Maternity and Child Welfare Committee), Mrs. Klinkhart,
Miss Reid and Mrs. Smith.
At Petersham the ladies who do excellent work are Mrs. Field,
Miss Hornby, Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Coleman.
The Health Visitors visit at the homes and during the year
under review, 368 first visits were made and 1,839 revisits.
