During the early period they are asked to attend once a month
and during the last month they are seen each week.
Cases requiring more attention attend more often and some
may be referred to their doctor or hospital. Those who do not
attend the clinic when expected are visited by a nurse. 409
ante-natal visits were made during the year.
All are invited to attend the post-natal clinic after their
confinement, but as mentioned in my previous report, it is
found that unless there is some obvious or troublesome condition
present, mothers do not avail themselves of this offer, and
I continue to hope that, as so few attended, the confinements
during the year were not accompanied by any detrimental
effects upon the mother.
All mothers bringing their children to the Maternity and
Child Welfare Clinics are questioned as to any possible disability
since their confinements.
