MIDWIFERY SERVICE
IMPROVEMENTS IN BRITAIN "(British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 17. Sir-■ Kingsley Wood, Minister of "Health, in a speech this afternoon said that he hoped the new midwifery service under the Government's Midwives Act would be in operation throughout the country by July next and that every mother would then be able to obtain, whatever her circumstances, the services she wanted. The whole status of the midwifery profession would be raised to a higher level. Sir Kingsley Wood claimed that the record of which British people could be proudest in connection with social reform was their progress in child welfare. But they must go on constantly developing and extending. He hoped in the next session of Parliament to bring forward proposals for filling the gap that at- present existed in the medical supervision of the child between the time at which he left school to enter employment and when he commenced health insurance.
