Where there is more than one session in any one building, it is preferable
for those mothers who are to be confined in hospital to attend
in the morning, so as to free the afternoon session for those mothers who
are to be confined in their own homes, when it is more likely that the
midwives who will be attending them will be present.
A consultant ante-natal clinic is held at Elmwood Avenue clinic on
the mornings of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Mondays of the month. Those
attending these sessions are referred either by the medical officers of the
ante-natal clinics or by their own medical practitioners, whose attendance
with their patients is welcome.
