Birth Control.—This Clinic has been carried on under the
same arrangements as outlined in last years' report. Patients are
only recommended on Medical grounds and are assessed in accordance
with their financial circumstances.
During the year 18 cases were referred from the Welfare
Centres of whom 15 were given free treatment.
A Local Branch, under the title of the Greenwich Women's
Welfare Centre and affiliated to the Walworth Women's Centre,
was formed in the early part of the year. Patients are now referred
to this Centre which is situated in Woolwich Road and are so
saved a long journey to Town. Dr. Margaret Green is the Medical
Consultant.

The arrangements for the provision of Convalescent Home Treatment
continue as before, the mothers and children being recommended
