The foregoing rules for Home Helps were not so drawn in the first
instance, but were modified to their present form in order to prevent the
possibility of a Home Help being placed in the predicament of being present
at a confinement at which the doctor or midwife failed to arrive.
Consideration of the position arising in homes in which the confinement
is conducted by a doctor or student, and where consequently no arrangement
is made for the necessary nursing duties during the puerperium, led the
Council to decide that they would supply a nurse to doctors' cases if a Home
Help is being supplied.
It will be noted that under the arrangement regarding St. Bartholomew's
Hospital students' cases, p. 129, all cases under scale are offered the services
of a Home Help.
Home Helps attended in 65 cases.
of these 51 were Midwives cases,
2 doctors' cases (nurse also provided),
4 City of London Maternity Hospital,
2 St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
2 Royal Free Hospital,
2 London Hospital,
