AMBULANCE FACILITIES
This service is under the control of the London County Council, a depot being situated in the
Borough at the Western Hospital, Seagrave Road.
NURSING IN THE HOME
Certain types of cases requiring home nursing treatment are visited on behalf of the Council
by the Fulham District Nursing Association and a table showing the number and type of such cases
is given below. During 1937 the Council made a grant to the Association of one shilling per visit but
arrangements have now been made for a block grant of £300 per annum to be paid; £200 from the
Maternity and Child Welfare Committee and £100 from the Public Health Committee.
The District Nursing Association employs twelve full-time nurses and besides nursing cases
in their own homes provides attendance and home visits in connection with the School Treatment
Centres at Bagley's Lane and Bishop Creighton House. A treatment room is also available at the
headquarters of the Association.
