307 cases were examined at the Council's Ante-Natal Clinics during
1943, making a total of 1.891 attendances. These figures are included in
the table of attendances at the ante-natal clinics.
In October, 1943, the Essex County Council advised the Ilford Council
that owing to the pressure on the maternity beds at Oldchurch County
Hospital it would not be possible to admit maternity cases from Ilford to
the Hospital after that month other than those cases already booked.
Following representations to the Ministry of Health and the Essex
County Council the latter decided to accept 15 maternity patients from
Ilford for the three months of April, May and June, 1944.
(6) Queen Mary's Hospital, Stratford.—In June, 1943, the Chairman
of Queen Mary's Hospital advised me that the maternity wing at the Hospital
would be re-opening on the 1st July, 1943. and that a limited number of
patients from Ilford could be admitted at a charge of 10/- per day.
Seven cases were admitted for confinement to the end of 1943.
