§ Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Minister of Health, what was the maternal mortality rate for each county, respectively, in Wales in 1938, and the corresponding rate for the previous year; whether he is satisfied that the existing maternity services in Wales are adequate; and, if not, what steps are being taken to improve them?
§ Mr. ElliotI am sending the hon. Member a statement giving the information asked for in the first part of the question. As regards the remaining parts of the question, maternity services in Wales are in process of improvement though there are still some areas in which it cannot yet be said that they are fully adequate.
