3 cases of puerperal pyrexia were notified and all of them were
removed to hospital; 2 of them recovered and the third died.
In the case of one of the deaths from puerperal sepsis, notification
of puerperal pyrexia was not received by us. The confinement
took place in a nursing home outside the district, and the
patient was removed to a hospital; the notification of puerperal
pyrexia was sent to one district, the death registered in another.
No case of puerperal pyrexia was treated in Queen Charlotte's
hospital during the year. We have an arrangement with the authorities
of that hospital for the admission and treatment of such
cases, but arrangements for the removal of the three cases notified
last year to other hospitals had been made by the doctors in attendance
before we received the notification.
Maternity Home.
In previous reports an account has been given of the agreement
with the Middlesex County Council for the admission of cases
into the Central Middlesex County Hospital, and 270 cases were
admitted last year under that agreement.

The Nursery is situated in Bollo Bridge Road, and is open
on five days a week.
The Nursery was open on 233 occasions, and 5,577 wholeday
attendances were made.
