Mrs Seow Peck Leng asked the Minister for Health whether any new midwifery schemes had been initiated in 1959 to help women, whose husbands are in the lower-income group, in child delivery at home.

Dr Sheng Nam Chin: Mr Speaker, Sir, I have been asked to reply. No new midwifery schemes were initiated in 1959, as the existing domiciliary midwifery services are already fulfilling the functions mentioned.
