    The voluntary “Meals on Wheels” Service run by the Women’s Royal Voluntary Service supplied 21,904 meals to aged and handicapped people during the year. The W.R.V.S. have three vans operating this service, which affords to some their chief form of nourishment. Meals are supplied daily from Mondays to Fridays. (i) Recuperative Holidays In 1970 one application for recuperative holiday was dealt with by the department. (i) Special Washing Service The issue of disposable paper drawsheets and pants has proved to be very useful for the care of incontinent cases and as a result no-one has required a special washing service. (k) Health Education Much health education is carried out at preparation classes for ante- natal mothers, at child health clinics, and at school medical inspections. Much more is imparted in the course of home visits. Details are not readily available in respect of services surrendered to the Social Services and Education Departments early in 1971, and in any case their inclusion would now be an anachronism. fortf-cight
