After 15ompnfes of warfare the general standard of health
within this area.is as good -as- that in previous years. There have
been no outstanding epidemics and the death rate from all causes
remains within normal limits. In this connection it is worth
recording that there have been no deaths from puerperal causes in
the year 1940. Since the foundng of the Diphtheria Immunisation
Clinics in 1940.319 children have been immunised 58 of whom wore
under five years of age.
I should like to draw the attention of all residents in the
area to the facilities for this immunisation and wouldrurge
everybody to have their children done at the earliest possible
moment.
Child Welfare Clinic.
In spite of the occupation of the Cardinal Road, Clinic
by the A.R.P. services every endeavour has "been made to maintain
the Maternity .and Child welfare Clinics as normal as possible.
