CARE OF MOTHERS AND YOUNG CHILDREN
During the year 464 mothers attended our clinics for ante-natal
care from the midwives. A total of 454 clinic sessions were held and
in addition 1,335 attendances were made at Mothercraft and Relaxation
Classes.
Following negotiations with the Regional Hospital Board, Miss
J. E. M. Lambert, F.R.C.O.G., Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist,
Barking Hospital, was appointed Medical Supervisor of Midwives with
effect from 1st May, 1970 to succeed Dr. M. I. Adamson, former
Associate Medical Officer of Health, who retired in December 19&9.
This appointment forged a very useful link between the local authority
health service and the hospital service.
