Medical Fees.—^The fees of medical men called in by midwives under the rules of the Central Mi'hvivcs Board are now paid by the County Council, so that there is now no excuse for a midwife n<>l calling in a doctor, and he is certain of getting his fee. The County Council can recover the f'-'-' if the patient is in a position to pay. When the whole County is provided with trained inidwives, there will be no reason why every woman, however poor, should not have adequate fnidw ifery and medical attendance at her confinement. Supply of Free Milk.—Milk is supplied free m necessitous cases. Each case is enquired into ;uid cc-ri'.fied by the Medical Officer of the Centre, and one of the lady helpers, and where there 1' no centre by the health visitor and a local responsible person. They are all scrutinised care¬ fully at the Central Office. There can be no doubt that this is real preventive w’ork.
