to get an accurate idea of this number as only a certain number of places specifically state the fact. It is probable that some "special circumstances", and "by arrangement", include these cases. (c) Ante-natal observation. From the description of accommodation it would appear that beds would be available for these cases in twenty Boroughs, but in practice we presume that under the L.C.C. they would be available for all. (d) The treatment of puerperal sepsis. Twenty-four Boroughs have reported that beds are specially kept for this purpose. (5) Home Helps. Seventeen Boroughs appear to make use of this provision. (6) The Provision of Milk or Food during the last three months of pregnancy and during lactation. This is provided in twenty-six Boroughs. (7) Complicated Midwifery. (a) The fees of doctor called in by midwives for an "emergency" in connection with a confinement must be paid, if necessary, in whole or in part. This duty is undertaken by the L.C.C. in London. (b) The fee of a consultant called in by a doctor for a complicated midwifery case or for puerperal infection. Twenty-five Boroughs note that they use this power. (c) Skilled nursing for patients confined at home. Thirteen Boroughs provide this. (d) Bacteriological examination in cases of puerperal infection. Nine Boroughs mention that they carry out this service. (8) Convalescent Home Treatment for mothers after confinement. This is stated to be used in seventeen Boroughs. (9) District Nursing Associations. Payments can be made for midwifery and maternity nursing, or for the nursing of puerperal fever. Assistance can be given towards the establishment of new Nursing Associations in areas where a midwife is required. It is stated that this is made use of in twenty Boroughs. (10) Provision can also be made for assisting unmarried mothers and their children. This provision appears to be used in nine Boroughs. (10)
