At the outbreak of war your four district
midwives went to Bishops Stortford with those expectant
mothers whose confinements were imminent; by the end
of the year two of these midwives had returned and the
others came back early in 1940. No other staff was
transferred to reception areas.
During the latter months of 1939 members
of the staff were designated to posts in connection
with Civil Defence, but, when things became more
settled, the staff were for the most part released
from Civil Defence work and returned to their normal
duties; the majority, however, continue to take part
in the Civil Defence Scheme on a voluntary basis.
