Ante-Natal and Post-Natal Clinics
There was an appreciable fall in attendances at ante-natal and post-natal sessions
in the early part of the year, and the holding of these sessions could no longer be
justified. Ante-natal and post-natal patients could be seen after infant welfare sessions
or at any other conveniently arranged time, and with the exception of Sutton Road Clinic,
ante-natal and post-natal sessions at clinics were therefore discontinued with effect
from 1st April.
