BIRTHS IN INSTITUTIONS AND MATERNITY HOMES
The following table shows the percentage of births taking place in other
than the patient's home since 1936. The steady increase in the percentage
was not maintained during the war years, due to evacuation of expectant
mothers, and subsequently due to the shortage of maternity beds in hospitals.
