§ 70. Dr. BENTHAMasked the Minister of Health if all the voluntary maternity homes in receipt of a grant, paid previously by the Ministry of Health and now through local authorities, are still visited by the medical inspectors of the Ministry of Health?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe routine inspection of voluntary maternity homes is carried out by the responsible local authorities. The arrangements made for the training of midwives in maternity homes which are in receipt of grants from my Department for that purpose are inspected periodically by a medical officer of my Department, and I have retained the right to instruct my officers to visit any maternity home as occasion arises.
