(c) Nursing in the Home, (a) General.
There are two local District Nursing Associations
within the area, situated at Bulphan and Langdon Hills,
and the new Association at Grays extends its activities
to the Parish of Little Thurrock. Their work is
co-ordinated both with the County Council and with
the Sanitary Authority. Each Association receives a
grant from the County Council and a certain amount
of professional nursing is carried out upon occasion
by the Health Visitors. Attention should be
called to the excellent work performed by the
48th Nursing Division of the St. John Ambulance
Brigade. The Division consists of a Lady Superintendent,
two Lady Ambulance Officers, and a number
of Ambulance Sisters. I am indebted to Mrs. A. H.
Harvey, the Superintendent, for the following details of
duties during 1933:
Motor Ambulance duties 905
Home Comforts Centre 445
Orthopaedic Clinic 259
Miscellaneous (includingnight visits)1119
It is impossible to praise too highly the work of
the Nursing Division, and their voluntary attendance
at the various Clinics should earn for them the gratitude
of the Local Authority and the Public,
