Film describing the provision of maternity care in the Leigh area. There are scenes shot at 'The Firs', a maternity home run by Matron Storey, who is seen at her bureau and with a child. There are then shots of the various areas within Leigh, with shots of the maternity clinic building in each area, and its presiding midwife.

There are then sequences of tests and safety procedures in the maternity home. |
