CHILD HEALTH
General
The Local Authority continues to hold Child Health Centres at
the fourteen premises listed below. Nine of these are purpose-built,
the remainder are hired for weekly sessions.
In addition, there are now eight group practices of general
practitioners who hold child health sessions at which the health visitor
attached to the group attends. These sessions have naturally resulted
in a slight reduction in the total attendance at some of the local
authority clinics. The overall attendances, however, remain high
Here, great emphasis is made on the early detection and referral of
any condition likely to hinder a child's normal physical, mental or
emotional development.
