concerned for their own particular mothers and their
babies, which have been born in, or in connection
with, such Hospitals. These Infants' Consultations
Centres rank as Welfare Centres for grants directly, in so

Lambeth Scheme, both from the Ministry of Health
and from the Borough Council, no grants from the latter,
however, being given to Maternity Hospitals in connection
with actual maternity work (lying-in wards),
used by Lambethian mothers.

Infants' Consultations Centre (66, York Road, Westminster Bridge
Road), which, naturally, also forms an important part of the

having been received).
