(c) For Maternity cases. For the expectant mother who wishes
to have her confinement at home, a scheme has been
approved by the London County Council, under which a
midwife can be engaged (i) to act as a midwife, who will
be in charge of the confinement; or (ii) if the services of
a doctor have been secured, a midwife can be engaged as a
maternity nurse, in which case she will act under the
instructions of the doctor.
The fee charged for the services of the midwife or maternity
nurse will be very moderate. If the full fee cannot be paid it will be
reduced or remitted altogether according to the patient's circumstances.
