The Committee of Management of the Lambeth Council's Maternity
Home includes four co-opted members, each representing
the Voluntary Welfare Committees in one of the four Parliamentary
Divisions of the Borough. The Management Committee is
much strengthened by the inclusion of these four ladies who
are in a position to explain at first hand the various points of
view of the Welfare Centres which they represent. The success
of the Council's Home is due to the cordial spirit of co-operation
displayed by all members in their work, and to the staff of the
Home, which has ably supported their efforts.
