(c) Nursing in the Home.
No change has taken place in connection with this service.
The two District Nurses employed are paid by and under the
control of the "Brentford and Chiswick Nursing Association,"
and during the year their work has been excellent and most
useful. The Council make a yearly contribution to the
Association and thereby render the services of the nurses
available for the home nursing of Measles, Pneumonia, etc.
The services of both nurses are much in demand and their
work is greatly valued in the area.
(d) Clinics and Treatment Centres.
A table shewing a complete list of Clinics and Treatment
Centres, giving particulars of establishment and control, will
be found appended to these brief notes.
(e) Hospitals—Public and Voluntary.
The close proximity of the Borough to the Metropolis places
all the large London Hospitals within reach of the residents.
The Chiswick Hospital and the Brentford Hospital are both
modern and up to date and offer ample facilities to the local
residents. Richmond Hospital is also largely used, while the
West Middlesex Hospital at Isleworth deals with a very large
number of cases requiring hospital treatment, as well as a
number of maternity cases unable to obtain hospital accommodation
in the Maternity Hospital of the Joint Hospitals
Committee.
By the courtesy of Dr. T. Orr, Medical Superintendent of
both Isolation and Maternity Hospitals, I am once again
privileged to include his report on the working and administration
of these hospitals.
