The Borough Council provides food other than milk for expectant
and nursing mothers, where recommended by the Medical Officer in
charge of the Pre-Maternity Clinics or by the Health Visitor. Arrangements
have beeu made with tradesmen to supply food to the Council's
order, and with eating houses to supply dinners to expectant and
nursing mothers; this latter seems the best and most popular way with
the mothers; it has the advantage of ensuring that the woman herself
eats the food, which is not always certain in other cases.
The Ministry are prepared to pay grants not exceeding one-half of
approved net expenditure involved in the supply of food and milk in
this connection.
The following is a specimen of the order forms employed:—
