The midwifery service in the Borough was first encouraged by the
Council in 1917, when it guaranteed the two Nursing Associations
working in the Borough in their provision of maternity nurses. In
1919, this principle was extended, when the Council undertook to
guarantee the Associations on the loss of midwives whom they employed.
This help took the form of guaranteeing them against loss on the
working both of midwifery and maternity nursing. Latterly, however,
it has been decided to substitute a block grant for this method.
The development of this work has met a much felt want, and
relieved the position as regards confinements at home to a marked
extent.
In the last five years the Nursing Associations' Maternity Nurses
and their Midwives have attended the following cases:—
