HC Deb 12 March 1962 vol 655 c108W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Health if, in view of the fact that in 1960 only just over half of the women over 35 years of age who had borne four children or more previously were confined in hospital, what steps he is taking to ensure that as far as practicable all maternity cases at special risk are confined in hospital.

Miss Pitt
