The Institutional versus Domiciliary Midwifery Committee was established by the RCOG Council under the chairmanship of R C Thomas in 1951 to assess National Health Service obstetric services, to study trends in places of birth, and to define objectives for the next two decades. It changed its title to the Maternity' Services Committee later in 1951 and to the Obstetric Services Committee in 1954. It published its report in the same year; a revised version was published by the College in November 1956. The committee does not appear to have met after 1954. According to a note in T5, p. 17, this committee continued the work of an earlier RCOG committee, the Maternity Committee, 1929-1939.

It is not known when or by whom the material was passed to the Archives; Miss Mallon, the College Secretary, provided secretarial support for the committee, and the records were probably originally included with her files.

Minutes, correspondence of Miss Mallon, College Secretary, background papers and reports of the RCOG Institutional versus Domiciliary Midwifery Committee, 1946-1957, including the committee's Report on the Obstetric Service under the National Health Service, July 1954 and 1956 revised edition.

No further accruals are expected.
