Birth Control.—In April, 1931, the Council gave authority
for advice on contraceptive methods to be given at the Maternity
and Child Welfare Centres, subject to the following conditions,
which are specified in paragraph 2 of the Ministry of Health
Memorandum 153/M.C.W., being observed :—
(t) That birth control advice is given only to married
women in attendance at Maternity and Child Welfare
Centres, and who, in the opinion of the Medical Officer
of the Centre, require this advice on the ground
that further pregnancy would be detrimental to
health ; and
(ii) That this advice is given at a separate session and
under conditions such as will not disturb the normal
and primary work of the Centres.
A special session is held when required for the purpose of
instruction of selected cases in contraceptive methods, and the
premises and equipment of one of the Council's Clinics is used.
The Ante-Natal Officer is responsible for issuing advice strictly
in accordance with the terms of the Memorandum. There were no
suitable cases for advice in contraceptive methods during 1937.
