Following the meeting, we learned more of the back. ground of the Victorian Order of Nurses. Initiated in 1897, with the Countess of Aberdeen as first President, its original charter describes it, in part, as "a branch of nursing service which in. cludes all phases of work concerned with family and community welfare, with bedside nursing as the fund. amental principle." Since that time, each succeeding Governor General has ex- tended patronage to the Order, and wives of the Governors General have given most active support. The Order now no longer operates under the charter, which was replaced by Act of Parliament in 1954. The VON receives payment from the govern- ment for visits to patients who cannot afford to pay for the service. The rate of this payment, set under regulations in 1965, is $4.50 a visit. VON estimates its cost per visit in 1970 as $6.86.
