Dr. R. C. Townshend reports on the work of the
Maternity Clinic, as follows :—
Report to the Medical Officer of Health on the Cornwall Road
Maternity Clinic for the year 1935.
I am glad to report an increase in the total attendances
during the year, although there was a decrease in the number
of new cases, due I believe to the removal of a large number
of families from the district, and also to the decrease in the
birth rate.
