Scope and content
A copy of the ‘Report on the Physical Welfare of Mothers and Children, Vol. IV: Ireland’ (Dublin: John Falconer, 53 Upper Sackville Street, 1917). The report was commissioned by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust and was part of a larger series of reports on the physical welfare of mothers and children across the United Kingdom.
The report examines the impact of factors such as maternal health, domestic and extra-domestic surroundings, and the role of health professionals in shaping infant and child mortality rates. The book concludes by proposing a comprehensive set of reforms to improve maternal, infant, and child welfare in Ireland, offering perspectives on the evolution of healthcare and public health policy.
