The number of attendances by expectant mothers was 643, or 12 more than last year. Of these, 201 were first visits of new patients, each patient paying 2 or 3 ante-natal visits subsequent to the first. Some of the new patients were simply sent by raidwives for an opinion; this might have been expected, as midwives are now required to make fuller ante-natal investigations, and thus find more suspected abnormalities. That they should send such suspected cases to a medical man or to an ante-natal clinic for confirmation or otherwise is the only coiirse which their duty dictates to them.
