(b) Any woman who seeks advice after the birth of a third
child;
(c) Any woman who suffers from a specific medical condition,
gynaecological or otherwise, which would render pregnancy
dangerous;
(d) Any woman whose general health would be caused to
suffer by reason of mental, physical or social burden placed
upon her by pregnancy.
2. Free examination and advice to all married 'social' cases, who
will be required to pay for any supplies issued, unless their
means are such that the supplies should be made free, or at a
reduced charge. A simple form of assessment has been agreed
for use by the Family Planning Association.
Any charges made to 'social' cases by the Family Planning
Association will continue to be those fixed on a standard national basis
by that Association.
The effect of these arrangements will be that the Authority will
meet the net cost of operating this service, including a contribution
towards the administrative costs of the South-West London Branch,
and a contribution towards the national levy made by the Family
Planning Association on all regional branches. Income from the sale
of supplies to 'social' cases will be offset by the South-West London
Branch against the overall cost of operation of the service in Merton.
It was anticipated by the Authority that as the service expands
additional Family Planning sessions may be required, and facilities
should be made available in other local authority clinics provided that
this will neither entail disruption of existing local health authority
services, nor prevent expansion of other essential services.
