The Clinic continues to be highly successful in
attracting women for its useful advice in the early
months of pregnancy. The number of expectant
mothers attending is 38 per cent. of the number of
births notified as having occurred in the Borough
during the year, or 27 per cent. of all the births
belonging to the Borough. Of the mothers who
attended the Clinic and were confined in 1930, 289
took their children to the Infant Consultations.
Ancillary to the Maternity Clinic are other services,
such as Home Helps and Maternity Outfiets, which
are well used by the mothers. Statistics as to these
matters appear later in this report.
