Domiciliary family planning services: a reappraisal
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 September 2011
Extract
When the first Eugenics Society Symposium (Meade & Parkes, 1965) was held in 1964, its final session, on ‘Aspects of Fertility Control’, included two papers (Peberdy, 1965; Morgan, 1965) describing experimental family planning services, which offered advice and treatment in their own homes to the ‘problem parents’ of large families in the lower working class. These two projects, established from 1959 onwards in Newcastle and Southampton, together with a similar service pioneered in York by Dr Dronfield, have been used as models for subsequent ‘domiciliary family planning services’, and an account of one (Brittan, 1964) has been reprinted by the FPA as an information leaflet.
