§ 56. Lieut.-Colonel FREMANTLEasked the Minister of Health if he is aware that Poor Law midwifery fees have not been revised since 1847; and whether he will take steps to bring them into line with the fees ruling at present for services of a similar nature?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINIt is true that the Order of 1847 has not been revised, but in a number of cases special arrangements between the guardians and their medical officers as regards midwifery fees have already been approved. I will, however, consider the question of the revision of this part of the Order.
