166. There is no doubt that this work is very much appreciated by those mothers who attend the centre and, to judge from the regularity of the attendances, in all probability if the number of clinics could be in- cressed to cover the whole populated area adequately, the great majority of mothers would, within a few years, be attending the infant welfare clinics. Unfortunately, each clinic, as at present constituted, cannot deal adequately with more than two or three thousand cases a year. This would mean that, on the basis of attendance during the first year of life only, to cover the whole infant field some twenty to thirty clinics would need to be established.
167. During the year 9,901 home visits were made by the health nurses in connexion with infant welfare.
168. The number of ante-natal attendances at each of the three main centres was as follows:
