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. Expectant mothers who cancelled hospital
bookings are included in this group.
These cases may be summarised as follows:—
Total number of midwives' cases during 1938 (about) 100
Number of cases sent for one consultation only 45
Number of cases supervised entirely 55
