HC Deb 11 July 1960 vol 626 c67W
Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Minister of Health what is the number of midwives available in the Borough of Brentford and Chiswick; and how that figure compares with the one for 1955.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I understand that, for domiciliary midwifery, the Borough of Brentford and Chiswick shares with neighbouring areas the services of 7 trained midwives, compared with 5 in 1955; and that at the Chiswick Maternity Hospital 20 full-time trained midwives and 1 part-time midwife are employed, compared with the same number of full-time and 5 part-time midwives employed in 1955.
