NURSING IN THE HOME.
This service throughout the year was undertaken mainly by the staff
of the Beddington and Wallington District Nursing Association, and their
work in the Borough continues to be greatly appreciated.
The Nursing Association, while continuing to offer the same excellent
facilities for nursing as in previous years, continue to do this work as
agents for the local health authority, the Surrey County Counpil, to whom
the service was transferred on the 5th July, 1948.
During the year the District Nurses attended 879 cases, including 87
maternity and 42 midwifery patients.
