A photograph of a document with typed and handwritten text. The document is dated ‘week ended February 4th 1928’. The top of the document is divided into three columns: ‘infants’, ‘nursing mothers’, and ‘ante-natal cases.’ In these columns are records of how much was paid for milk per day. For example, it shows that 13 nursing mothers paid 1d. per day. There is only one recorded case of ‘received milk free.’ The lower half of the page records the amount of milk, cream, and dried milk received in specific Infant Welfare Centres of Liverpool. The table shows a total of 11099 ‘bottles of infant food prepared’. The bottom of the table records ‘total cash for year’ for each centre: the totals range from £733 in Mill Street to £2043 at Park Road. The total cash received from all centres listed is £11169:7:3.
