Psychoprophylaxis classes are being used increasingly by
expectant mothers and several local maternity hospitals are now
referring mothers to our sessions.
Cytology clinics continue to operate throughout the Borough
and sessions have been held in factories and offices for the benefit
of factory, shop and clerical workers. Many women have availed
themselves of this service but numbers still choose to ignore it.
However, in many ways the work could and should progress
and increase but until there is considerable improvement in the staff
situation, the implementation of changes must be deferred.
Ante and Post Natal Clinics
These clinics, provided by the Council at its Welfare Centres,
are under the supervision of the Council's Medical Officers or
General Practitioner Obstetricians and they serve as centres where
midwives can book and examine their patients and where facilities
are offered for certain routine investigations.
Figures given in the table below indicate the use made by
residents of these clinics.
