Professional Nursing in the Home.
There is no municipal staff for professional nursing
in the homes. There are, however, several voluntary Associations
employing a large number of efficient nurses who carry out
invaluable work in nursing necessitous cases in their homes. As
mentioned elsewhere, the co-operation between these Societies
and the Local Authority is of the closest possible nature, both in
respect to home nursing and health visiting. The Forest Gate
section of this Borough is supplied with home-nurses by the
Essex County Nursing Association from their branch in Beechcroft
Road, Leytonstone. The Silvertown area is similarly supplied
through the Tate Nurses (Queen's Nurses), Nurses' Home,
Saville Road, Silvertown. By far the largest amount of nursing
in the homes, however, is carried out by the Plaistow Maternity
Charity, who serve all local areas.
No arrangements are in force for the nursing of Infectious
Diseases in the home. Cases requiring hospital treatment are
removed to the Council's Isolation Hospitals.
Maternity and Nursing Homes.
There are three registered homes in the Borough. (See page
146.) For Maternal Mortality. (See pages 147-151.)
