Consulting Obstetricians.-The scheme which the Council inaugurated,
whereby the services of obstetricians of definite consulting status were
made available in cases of difficulty or abnormality, has been in operation
since May, 1926.
The terms of the scheme are as follows:—
(a) That the patient be a Hampstead citizen.
(b) That the medical practitioner immediately inform the
Medical Officer of Health that he has called in the services
of one of the Consulting Obstetricians, giving the name
and address of the patient, date of the call, the reason, and
the result.
(c) That the Borough Council be responsible to the Consulting
Obstetrician for a fee of £5 5s. 0d. per case.
