North Kensington Women's Welfare were continued, 5 patients
being sent there for advice in 1946.
Sterility Clinic.
During the year, 2 patients were referred to this clinic at North

Exercises Class for Mothers.
The popularity of these classes is steadily growing and they
have aroused very keen interest and support from the, Central
Middlesex and Queen Charlotte's Hospitals, as also the Domiciliary
Midwifery Service. The exercises themselves and the informal talks
and instruction given at the classes have been found to be of the
greatest value, both to the mothers and through them to the midwives.
The number of mothers who attended during 1946 was 160,
and the total number of attendances made was 1212. In addition,
three evening talks were given to prospective fathers, at the request
of some of the women attending the exercises class. These also
met with real appreciation and requests have been received for more
to be arranged.
