The outbreak of war put an end, for the time being, to the steps
which were in progress for the erection of a new Health Centre on
the St. Helier Estate.
Meantime the Clinics carry on as best they may in the old
premises.
To meet the convenience of residents living in the extreme
southern end of the district in the vicinity of Clock House Farm, a
weekly bus service from that locality to the Stanley Road Clinic was
instituted in March. This was greatly appreciated and well used by
the mothers living in that area.
The attendances at the centres are shown in the following tables:—
