It will be seen from the above table that full use is made of the institutional facilities
which are available.
The cases admitted as in-patients represented 40 per cent, and those attended at home
30-7 per cent, of the total number of St. Pancras births. As compared with the previous year,
there was a decrease in the number of cases attended at home and an increase in the number
of those admitted as in-patients.
The Borough Council pays a subsidy to certain hospitals for the admission of cases to
their maternity wards, and also pays a subsidy for cases attended at home by midwives on the
staff of certain institutions. No subsidy is paid for cases attended by medical students.

The corresponding grants for the previous three years were: £238, £234 15s. 0d., and
£264 5s. 0d,
