An urban aid grant was obtained by the Borough Council with
which to establish a free domiciliary family planning service,

Hospital visiting continued at three hospitals in the Borough:
The British Hospital for Mothers and Babies, St. Nicholas Hospital
in Plumstead, and the Woolwich Maternity Hospital. The
purpose of this scheme is to try to motivate both mothers in
maternity wards and other patients, especially those who have
had terminations, to seek birth control advice either from their
doctors or from family planning clinics.
