As these cases have all come under the same antenatal care and as complications in patients booked for Looe have been transferred from the clinics to the main maternity centre in Redruth, it has been considered reasonable to include the cases delivered in Looe, which are mainly normal cases, in one Report. The Maternity Home in Looe dealt with 230 cases during the year, of which 228 were booked and 2 non-booked cases. One case delivered there had been in Redruth for external version of a breech presentation and 1 case delivered in Looe was transferred to Redruth with phlebitis. There were 109 primigravidae and 119 booked and 2 non-booked multiparae. Of these 2 primigravidae and 2 booked and 1 non-booked multiparae were admitted after delivery at home. Details of complications appear in the appropriate tables. The following table gives a summary of methods of delivery. 2 /
