Far West A Wonderful Service Highlighted in Address
Mr Do Linfoot told the Coffs Harbour branch last week that Far West remains a wonderful service after 27 years assisting needy country children. The Manly Drummond Home with 128 beds is near capacity, 120 on a waiting list, and a move to new quarters will add 50 beds. The scheme costs £42,000 yearly with £1,000 government subsidy and £17,500 raised by country branches. Services include home care, seaside camps, cripple searches, transport costs, surgical aids, vocational training, nurse escorts, maternal welfare, and dental care for rural children, with mobile clinics reaching remote areas. The Manly home staff, led by Dr Wearne, highlighted severe dental neglect among far west residents.
