At the end of the year I received the following letter from the
Midwives' Board :—
Central Midwives' Board,
6, Suffolk Street,
Pall Mall,
London, SAV.
December 19th, 1905.
Sir,
Midwives' Act, 1902.
Rules of Central Midwives' Board.
I am directed to advert to the fact that the period of validity of
the present code of rules exoires on the 12th August, 1906, and to
state that the Board will be glad to have an opportunity of considering
any amendments that your experience of the administration
of the Act and Rules may have indicated as desirable.
As the Board proposes to commence the consideration of the
revision of the Rules in January, I shall be much obliged if you will
be good enough to let me have by the 10th of that month any
amendments that you may wish to suggest for adoption by the
Board.
I am, sir,
Your obedient servant,
G. W. Duncan,
Secretary.
The Medical Officer of Health
for Croydon.
In reply thereto I addressed the following letter:—
Public Health Department,
Town Hall,
January 6th, 1906.
Sir,
Midwives' Act, 1902.
Rules of Central Board.
In reference to your communication of December 19th, 1905, I
beg to make the following suggestions :—
(a.) I think it would be an advantage if Section E were
printed separately. At present, midwives are given a copy of all
the Rules, and finding Section A beyond their comprehension give
up the attempt to understand them.
