There is very close co-operation of the Clinics with these
institutions and I would like to state that as regards domiciliary
midwifery the excellent arrangements made by this Authority
and the County Council with Queen Charlotte's Hospital should
prove to be highly satisfactory.
The Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics greatly miss the
invaluable services given to them by the Chiswick Hospital,
and we are looking forward to the re-opening of that institution
so that we can once more obtain their help.
A great problem of this, and many other areas, is to solve
the most efficient way to bring about disinfestation of houses
and furniture, and the Chief Sanitary Inspector in his report on
Housing indicates the trouble and time that has been taken in
investigating this matter.
Appended is the Annual Report of the Medical Superintendent
of the Isolation and Maternity Hospitals and I am
greatly indebted to the Chiswick and Ealing Hospitals Committee
and to Dr. Orr for kindly supplying copies to bind with
this report.
Again I have pleasure in recording that the Ladies who
act as Voluntary Helpers in the Maternity and Child Welfare
Clinics, continue to earn your gratitude and thanks for their
untiring efforts in the interests of the mothers and children
attending these clinics. A list of their names is to be found on
page 2.
Finally I would like to tender my sincere and grateful
thanks to my colleagues and to the Staff of the Public Health
Department for their loyal support and to you Ladies and
Gentlemen for your continued courtesy and help.
i am, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
r. c. leaning.
