Dinners are provided also by the Council at the Centre at 170, Wandsworth Bridge Road,
the food being prepared on the premises by the housekeeper. In this way, both the north and
the south parts of the Borough have equal facilities for the supply of dinners, as the arrangement
with the Invalid Kitchens of London to supply dinners at the cost of the Council still continues
at Bishop Creighton House.
Each year the Women's Holiday Fund sends away for a fortnight many mothers who would
otherwise be unable to get away from home responsibilities. The women who are thus sent to
the country or to the seaside are expected to contribute to the cost as they may be able. They
begin to save from the early spring for these holidays, and the joy of anticipation adds to the
value of the holiday itself.
MATERNAL MORTALITY.
The Maternity and Child Welfare Department investigates all cases in which women have
died during pregnancy, at childbirth or during the puerperium. Details of maternal deaths are
given on page 15.
