Booklets of advice for expectant mothers were available free
of charge at each infant welfare centre.
Each mother who applied for admission to the Borough Maternity
Hospital, or for attendance by the Borough district midwife in
her own home, was required to attend the ante-natal clinic periodically
before her confinement, and was seen at least once by the
consultant gynaecologist. Doctors and private midwives practising
in Battersea were encouraged to send their maternity patients to her
at the central ante-natal clinic at the Borough Maternity Hospital
for examination and report without charge.
