Post Natal.
Post Natal examinations have markedly increased.
Mothers have been advised by the Health Visitors to
attend for examination approximately six weeks after
their confinement. 124 mothers took advantage of this
service and there are indications that as these facilities
become more widely known, they will be accepted to a
greater extent.
I mentioned in my report for last year how many
women become chronic invalids owing to the fact that
repairs to damage received during parturition had not
been effected.
Gynaecological Clinic.
As has been mentioned earlier, a separate
gynaecological clinic has been established which takes
place on the first Saturday morning of each month.
Dr. Henderson has prepared some statistics on cases
attending the gynaecological clinic which was formerly
held in conjunction with the ante-natal clinic on Tuesday
mornings at Five Elms. The figures include all those
patients who attended from July, 1934 to May, 1937:—
