MIDWIVES.
There are 17 Midwives and one Municipal Midwife notified

The Municipal Midwife attended 161 births, and she also attends
all the ante-natal clinics held at the Welfare Centres—Brook
Road, Wightman Road, Church Road, Highgate, and Coldfall
School. One of the conditions upon which the Council's Midwife
accepts a case is that the expectant mother shall attend an
ante-natal clinic.

LEGISLATION IN FORCE.
No new Local Acts, Special Orders, general adoptive Acts or
Byelaws relating to the public health came into force in Hornsey
in 1932.
The Children and Young Persons Act, 1932, which amends
the Children Act, 1908. and deals, inter alia, with Infant Life
Protection, was passed during the year.
AMBULANCE FACILITIES.
No change has been made in the ambulance arrangements,
which are adequate for all types of case—infectious, noninfectious,
maternity, accidents, etc.
The Morris "Viceroy" motor conveyance for the transport
of mentally and physically defective children travelled over
11,000 miles and carried over 22,000 passengers.
Prior to 1933 this vehicle was classed as an ambulance and
tax-free. The Ministry of Transport has, however, laid down
that a tax-free ambulance must be sent out for recumbent cases.
