The Bye-Laws arc enforced, where necessary, by the Public
Health Committee, acting through their Medical Officer of Health.
Professional Nursing in the Home.
Apart from the nurses attached to the District Medical
Officers 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. As
mentioned elsewhere, the co-operation between these Societies
and the Local Authority is of the closest possible nature, both in
resp^~* to liome nursing and health vis'ting. 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
Hospital, which serves 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
125. For Maternal Mortality. (See page 127).
