Ante-natal Clinics.
Two sessions are held weekly, one in Brentford and the
other in Chiswick.
300 expectant mothers attended for the first time and 111
continued attendances they started the previous year. These
411 expectant mothers made 1,787 attendances. 770 births
were notified so this figure represents 53.4 per cent, of that
number. The percentage in 1936 was 51.7.
