Home, Marylebone Road. The number of births notified from these institutions
during 1922 was 2,504, the total births numbering 3,813. The midwives living and
practising in the Borough number 2. Both conduct maternity homes which are
registered by the London County Council.
Babies Nursing Home.—This institution, which was opened early in 1918, had
unfortunately, owing to lack of funds, to close down about the middle of the year.
During the time it was open it did much valuable work, and it is a source of keen
regret to all who were interested in it that its operations had, of necessity, to come to
an end.
Work done during 1922.—The following table gives some idea of the work
done at the various centres during the year. The method adopted in relation to the
granting of orders for milk and food under the Maternity and Child Welfare Act,
1918, is fully detailed in the reports for 1919 and 1920, and need not again be
discussed. The total number of orders issued is shown in the table.
