Midwives Clinics
Domiciliary midwives assist at all but two of the ante-natal
clinics. An attempt is made to ensure that this work is done by
the midwife who is likely to deliver the patient in each case.
In four centres separate midwives clinics are held and the following
table shows the attendances made during the year.
