It is unfortunate that the number of patients refusing treatment
is so high. The value of good teeth both during pregnancy
and after is not yet appreciated by many women.
The inability of the Dental Service to deal with all the mothers
anxious to obtain treatment is doubly regrettable, inasmuch as
it reacts upon the attitude of mothers.

Midwives' Cases.
Many midwives' cases were sent when pregnancy was about
36 weeks advanced for a single consultation. A somewhat larger
number was supervised entirely at the Ante-Natal Clinic after
they had made their own arrangements for delivery at home in
the care of doctors or midwives. These cases may be summarised
as follows:—
Total midwives' cases during 1934 303
Number of cases sent for one consultation only 141 (47%)
Number of cases supervised entirely 162 (53%)
Number of primigravidæ 117 (39%)
