way, and the City of London Maternity Hospital for the admission
of cases from Wood Green Centres.
23 cases were sent to these maternity hospitals during the year.
A large number of mothers in Wood Green are admitted to the
North Middlesex Hospital for confinement, and from the time of
their booking until the actual confinement, these mothers are kept
under observation by the obstetrical surgeon at the hospital. An
arrangement was made two years ago with the County Health
Department by which the routine ante-natal supervision of these
mothers is carried out at our Ante-Natal Clinic. This arrangement
has worked well, and is of benefit to all concerned, ensuring
close co-operation between the hospital and the local ante-natal
clinic, and saving the mothers the fatigue of regular long journeys
to hospital.

Expectant and nursing mothers and children under school age
