Army Midwives, Maternity Home, 24, Underwood
Street, E.l, Maternity Hospital, 384-396, Commercial
Road, E.l, and Royal London Maternity Charity,
although these Institutions are situated or directed
from outside the Borough, are also largely used by
residents of the Borough. Through the courtesy of
the Secretary I understand that 74 Bethnal Green
women were confined at the City of London Maternity
Hospital.
MEDICAL TREATMENT OF PERSONS INSURED
UNDEE THE NATIONAL (HEALTH)
INSURANCE ACTS.
Arrangements are made by the London Insurance
Committee. I understand that 91 medical practitioners
are on the medical panel for the Borough, 34 of whom
have consulting rooms in the Borough.
AMBULANCES.
The L.C.C. ambulance arrangements, at the end
of 1930, were understood to be as follows:—

The Council provides ambulances, free of cost, for
the conveyance to—
A.—Hospitals or private residences of:—
(i) Persons meeting with accidents or suffering
from sudden illnesses in the streets, public places,
places of employment, etc.;
(ii) Persons meeting with accidents in their
homes;
(iii) Persons suffering from illnesses in their
homes if a medical practitioner certifies that the
case is one of life or death, that no other ambulance
is available and that arrangements have been made
for the reception of a patient in a hospital;
