BETTER MIDWIFERY
BRITISH GOVERNMENTS SERVICE. (British Official Wireless.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Rugby, September 17. The Minister of Health (Sir Kingsley Wood) in a speech said he hoped that the new midwifery service under the Government’s Midwifes 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 necessary services. The Minister 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 the time when he commenced health insurance.
