- 8 - 30. Proper arrangements must be made to avoid nursing clean and emergency cases in the same ward, and there must be small wards for isolation of suspects in each sanctioned hospital. 31. (B) Voluntary hospitals, whether rate-aided or not, must be under as much supervision as municipal hospitals. 32. (C) Isolation hospitals. Beds for isolation may either be in a separate part of a general hospital or in another building altogether; under no circumstances should the doctors or nurses in attendance come in contact with clean midwifery. It is urgent in these septic cases to employ expert investigators and to have facilities for every modern method. Apart from beds for sepsis there should also be beds for mothers suffering from venereal disease and from tuberculosis; these should be available before and after confinement and should be linked up with the specialist services of the County Authority for these disorders. 33. (D) Ambulance service An ambulance service, obtainable by telephone night and day, should be provided by the Local Authority for the conveyance of expectant mothers to hospitals. 34. (E) Hostels Hostels to which young children could be sent if the mother has to go into hospital should be provided. Such provision would often help to remove the difficulty of the mother's leaving home.
