Nursing in the Home.— Except as regards midwifery in certain districts

most adequately undertaken by the following District Nursing Associations:—
The Metropolitan Nursing Association,
The Westminster Nursing Association,
The Pimlico, Belgravia and Chelsea Nursing Association.
The first mentioned also carries out a district midwifery service in
the northern area of the City in conjunction with the out-door maternity
department of Charing Cross Hospital.
Midwives.— As previously stated, the Council employs on its
staff one whole-time midwife. She undertakes necessitous cases in the
wards of Victoria, Knightsbridge St. George and Hamlet of Knightsbridge.
The Westminster Health Society employs two midwives for
cases in St. Margaret and St. John wards. They are whole-time officers
of the society.
Midwifery in the remaining areas is undertaken by the Metropolitan
Nursing Association, working in conjunction with Charing Cross Hospital.
The out-door midwifery department of Middlesex Hospital also operates
