Hospital Provision.
Apart from the special provision for Maternity at the Borough
Maternity Hospital and the District Midwifery Service, the Council
contributes an annual sum to the funds of the Victoria Children's
Hospital, Tite Street, Chelsea, and in return the hospital authorities
have afforded facilities for the treatment of children referred from
the various Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics. These facilities
are, as the work at the Clinics grows, becoming year by year
increasingly availed of. The value of this excellent Institution
to the Council's scheme has been fully described in previous Annual
Reports and the Medical Officers of the Welfare Clinics continue to
make full use of the advantages its proximity offers to their little
patients.
