BIRTH CONTROL.
There is no Birth Control Clinic in Edmonton, but an arrangement has
been made to send Edmonton women to the Royal Free Hospital at a cost
to the Council of 7/6 for two consultations.
Only women coming within the meaning of the Ministry of Health's
Circular 1408 may be referred by the Medical Officer to the Hospital.
During the year 33 such patients were sent and of these 17 had free
advice and the remainder were in a position to pay for their own expenses.
STERILISED MATERNITY OUTFITS.
Fifty-three mothers applied for Sterilised Maternity Outfits during the
year, and of this number 17 came within the Committee's scale and the
outfits were granted free of charge, and the other 36 mothers were able to
pay the full cost of 4/6.
