It soon became apparent from the demand that this was a valuable medium through which to reach the public, and to do so more widely six more trays were made, and with the co-operation and approval of the Borough Librarian, these were displayed in the six main libraries in the Borough. There continues to be a steady call for these leaflets and it is felt that this is a very effective way of bringing before the public sound advice given clearly and simply. NURSING HOMES The supervision of all Nursing Homes in the Borough was carried out as in the previous year and all the Homes were inspected at regular intervals by the Deputy Medical Officer. One Nursing Home was closed voluntarily and the application of a new owner for re-opening of the home had not come before the Public Health Committee by the end of the year.
