§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAasked the Minister of Health whether the Departmental Committee appointed to inquire into the working of the Midwives' Act has considered the grievance felt among mid-wives over non-payment of emergency work; and whether it is proposed to take steps to amend the Law so that the services of midwives who attend emergency maternity cases will not go un-rewarded?
§ Mr. GREENWOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the second part, I cannot make any statement until I have had an opportunity of considering the recommendations made by the committee.
