The second in a series of nine documentary films about the Bolton Area Health Authority. Maternity Unit
The opening day of the costly new maternity wing has been rushed forward because the old maternity block is urgently needed for the psychiatric patients. The ceiling in their ward has collapsed. But the new wing is not quite finished. There are electrical faults, the heating is not working and air vents shower the theatre with insulation fibre. As hospital staff race to meet the deadline, an analysis of the delivery theatre shows that it would be dangerous in use, due to an unacceptably high level of germs and bacteria. The cleaners scrub and scour anew.
At last the theatres are pronounced fit to use and the first baby is born. But three weeks later there is disturbing news from the child's home.

Five public talks on race relations. What are the causes of racial friction? Why are different cultural values felt as a threat? How far does the recurrent political debate about immigration distract attention from what needs to be done if Britain is to function successfully as a multi-racial society?
Each evening this week BBC2 presents extracts from a series of talks which offer the sort of informed analysis needed in tackling such questions.
1: Race and the Inner City
Professor John Rex , Professor of Sociology, University of Warwick
The problem of racial friction is often defined as a problem of the inner city. But is it? PROFESSOR REX, who has researched areas of Birmingham since 1962, suggests that while inner-city conflicts serve to worsen race relations, racial discrimination itself helps to produce inner-city problems.
Producer JOHN TWITCHIN
(Tomorrow's talk is at 11.0 pm)
