The Committee of Management of the Lambeth Council's Maternity
Home includes four co-opted members, each representing
the Voluntary Welfare Committees in one of the four Parliamentary
Divisions of the Borough. The Management Committee is
much strengthened by the inclusion of these four ladies who
are in a position to explain at first hand the various points of
view of the Welfare Centres which they represent. The success
of the Council's Home is largely due to the ungrudging pains
with which they have worked on behalf of the Lambeth Scheme
in co-ordinating the work of the voluntary centres with that of
the Council. In the assessment of the capacity of applicants for
admission to the Home to pay the fees asked, the first hand information
which these ladies bring has led in a considerable degree
to the fairness and justice of the Committee's findings.
