HC Deb 26 January 1966 vol 723 cc81-2W
Mr. Snow

asked the Minister of Health what is the policy of his Department on the training by teaching hospitals of midwives and on the situation arising from the taking over of this responsibility by some London boroughs.

Mr. K. Robinson

The London boroughs are preparing for my approval their proposals for providing domiciliary midwifery services. These will not necessarily involve changes in the arrangements for midwifery training which the London County Council had made with some teaching hospitals. Revised training arrangements require the approval of the Central Midwives Board.
