Maternity and Child Welfare work in the
district is under the control of the Surrey County
Council, who appoint the Medical Officers and Health
Visitors.
The District Council appoints a number of
voluntary helpers, who render valuable assistance
with this work.
A statistical report is supplied to the District
Council by the County Medical Officer of Health
every three months.
In 1925 a temporary Shelter for Perambulators
was erected at the Child Welfare Centre and School
Clinic, but, having regard to the large numbers
attending, the accommodation generally is now
quite inadequate, and it is essential that the existing
building should be enlarged or more commodious
premises provided.
