16 midwives working in four groups of four. Because of the increasing
work expected from the residents of the London County Council Headstone
Estate it was hoped to be able to house an additional midwife on
the Estate.
In addition to the Council's midwives there were, at the end of the
year, 13 midwives living in the area whose work was almost entirely
restricted to domiciliary practice here ; while as well there were 7 midwives
living out of the area but whose domiciliary practice extends into
this district.
The midwifery service is another of those which passes into the
hands of the County Council on July 5th to be, in turn, administered by
the Area Committee.
