HC Deb 28 May 1936 vol 312 cc2180-1
34. Mr. SEXTON

asked the Minister of Health whether he is satisfied that the period of quarantine enforced on a midwife after attending a case of puerperal fever is long enough to ensure safety in attending succeeding cases?

Sir K. WOOD

The period of suspension in these cases is that laid down in the rules made by the Central Midwives Board, and I have no reason to suppose that it is insufficient.

Mr. SEXTON

Have representations been made to the right hon. Gentleman by the medical profession asking that he should look into that question?

Sir K. WOOD

That question had better be put down.
