The attendances at the Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics
remain about constant, and those at the Ante and Post-Natal
Clinics show a marked increase.
The establishment of a Sun-Ray Clinic in the Borough is a
great asset and should prove to be of very great value.
It will be observed that Queen Charlotte's Hospital Domiciliary
Services of Midwives is doing excellent work and is
becoming very popular with those mothers who chose to have
their confinements in their own homes. During the first year
of their service the Midwives attended 143 of the 816 births
registered in this area.
Appended to this report is the Annual Report of the Medical
Superintendent of the Isolation and Maternity Hospitals, anp
I am greatly indebted to the Ealing and Brentford and Chiswick
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 will 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, Dadies and
Gentlemen, for your continued courtesy and help.
I am, Dadies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servant,
R. C. LEANING.
