Midwives.
The total number of midwives practising in Hampstead is 40.
Arrangements have been made by the Borough Council with both
Nursing Associations for the provision of a properly skilled and
registered midwife. The Borough Council guarantee each of the
Associations against the loss, up to £100, on the working of the
midwives.
The fees charged the patient have been carefully considered in
reference to the midwives' fees prevailing in the district, and have been

Hampstead District Nursing Association, and 6 by the Hampstead
District Nursing Association.
