- W99494315 abstract "This chapter discusses welfare services for mothers and young children. In the 20th century, there grew an awareness that more should be done to promote the health of mother and young child. There were several reasons. There was general concern over the high infant and child mortality particularly among the poor. The Government realized that the recruits for the Boer War were in poor physical condition, though reputedly the fit and fighting youth. Compulsory education from 1880 revealed to local and central authorities that many of the school children were in poor health and received a poor diet. One of the first steps to be taken was to ensure that midwives be properly trained in their duties of assisting at the deliveries of young babies. The Midwives Act, 1902, laid down that midwives be properly trained. The Maternity and Child Welfare Act, 1918, permitted local authorities to provide services for expectant mothers and children up to the age of five. After the Second World War there was a strong desire for improvement in welfare services generally. The National Health Service Act, 1946, was passed to ensure the provision of welfare foods, such as orange juice, vitamin tablets, cod liver oil, which had been supplied at clinics during the war to ensure the fitness of mothers and young children during the critical years when most people were on rations. During the war, the clinics were staffed by nurses and doctors who maintained a general watch over mothers and infants." @default.
