Maternity Cases— Queen Mary's Hospital.
There has been an arrangement since July, 1923, with the
Queen Mary's Hospital, Stratford, for the treatment of maternity
eases requiring operative or other treatment which cannot be
carried out in the Ilford Maternity Home, and cases which require
admission to a maternity home and cannot be dealt with at our
own institution, the agreed charge being 7s. per day. This is, of
course, subject to accommodation being available.
Two cases were treated during 1935.
District Midwife.
During 1935 the District Midwife attended 152 cases. They
were in the following wards:—Barkingside, 22; North Hainault,
16; Cranbrook, 1; Park, 30; Seven Kings, 33; South Hainault, 3;
Loxford, 22; Clementswood, 17; Goodmayes, 8.
Twelve cases were delivered by doctors and 128 by herself,
and in 9 cases the babies were born before the Midwife's arrival.
One case was transferred to the Maternity Home and 2 to Queen
Mary's Hospital, Stratford, before delivery (one of the latter died
from childbirth, failed forceps and shock and occipito posterior
position of child).
