    Staff. HEALTH VISITING. During 1954 further steps were taken to implement the policy of the Council to increase the health visiting staff. On the 1st January, 1954, two additional health visitors took up duties and the health visiting-areas were increased from 7 to 9 as from that date. One suitably qualified nurse was accepted as a student health visitor and commenced training on the 11th January. It was intended tliat she should take up an appointment as an ad- ditional health visitor in 1955, thus further implementing the above policy. Unfortunately, however, one health visitor resigned during the year, and the student health visitor on completion of her training replaced this member. During the interim period one of the district nurse/midwives was transferred to the health visiting staff under a dispensation granted by the Welsh Board of Health. Statistics. Tables 28 and 29 give some details of the work done by the health visitors during the year. Table 28.
