Maternal Mortality.
These cases fail into three categories. The first includes all
"Booked" cases (i.e., those who had attended the Ante-Natal
Clinic on two occasions, whether they were delivered in the
Council's beds or not). The second consists of those admitted to
Hospital as "Emergency" cases (i.e., they had not attended the
Ante-Natal Clinics on more than one occasion, if at all). The
third category is made up of cases admitted after delivery as
Puerperal Sepsis per se and treated at Mayday Hospital or in the
Borough Hospital Puerperal Infection Unit. This last group is
dealt with in the Report of the Puerperal Isolation Wards (see
page 147).
