Panel of Consultants.—It was considered that the smooth
working of the arrangements under the Midwives Act 1936, would
be facilitated if the boroughs comprised in Area B agreed to pool its
list of consultants. The consultants were to be available to attend
women in their homes, at the request of a medical practitioner, either
for puerperal fever or pyrexia, or in connection with any complication
arising during pregnancy, labour or the puerperium. The Finsbury
Borough Council for some years have had a panel of seven consultants
for these purposes, and after negotiations all the five constituent
boroughs agreed to make arrangements with these seven to act
throughout Area B, two additional consultants being added to the
pool. The following is the complete list of consultants for the Area
last year:—
John Beattie, M.D., F.R.C.S., M.C.O.G., 20, Upper
Wimpole Street, W.1.
J. B. Blaikley, F.R.C.S., M.C.O.G., 55, Harley Street, W.1.
