The services of a second practitioner for the anaesthetic,
or assistance.
The provision of beds in a Maternity Hospital, the
doctor still attending his own patient.
A supply of sterilised obstetric dressings in every case,
and the
Provision of ambulance to institutions when required.
The scheme is intended to include persons entitled to
maternity benefit under the National Health Insurance Acts;
persons who, but for unemployment, would have been
entitled; persons, in business, of similar economic status;
certain grades of government services.
If and when the Scheme becomes general, our Maternity
and Child Welfare Centres would still carry on for the few,
but the main work for them would be mothercraft.
In the meantime there is a demand for a longer period
of education for midwives, with better status and remuneration.
