    nurses working in ihe County who had not already been so trained. The future of the domiciliary midwifery service has received close study in the light of developments in the hospital services. Widely ranging discussions are still m progress with a view to establishing i\ clearer pattern for the future in this service. During the year there has been an increasing awareness of the complementary nature of much of the department’s work with the hospital service, and on many matters progress has been made. In some respects the same holds true for the general practitioner ser- vice. The great realisation during the year, however, has been the need to use and co-ordinate the voluntary services to a much greater extent. 1 feel, Mr. Chairman, that the year represents solid achieve- ment on all fronts, and that it has been a year in which the advance is such that the Committee may be proud. My thanks are due to the members of the Council, especially the Chairman of the Health Committee, to my fellow heads of de- partments of the Council, and last, but by no means least, to all members of the health department whose sheer hard work and con- centration have been invaluable in a year of such progress.
