BIRTH CONTROL CLINIC.
At a Birth Control Clinic established at a maternity centre, contraceptive
advice may be given only to those in whose case further
pregnancy would be detrimental to health. Last year 143 new patients
attended, and altogether 436 visits were paid. Each year a small number
who attend have to be denied any advice on contraceptive methods, as
in their cases there are no medical grounds rendering a pregnancy
undesirable.
