HC Deb 27 January 1958 vol 581 cc21-2W
100. Mrs. L. Jeger

asked the Minister of Health how many domiciliary midwives have been trained to use trilene; and how many have been supplied with the necessary equipment.

Mr. R. Thompson

At 31st December, 1956, the latest date for which the figures are available, 7,070 domiciliary midwives in the National Health Service were trained in the use of inhalational analgesics. If this training has not included trilene only a short further demonstration is needed. At 31st December, 1957, 1,259 sets of trilene apparatus were in use in the domiciliary service.
