I am of the opinion that we gain much by having the same staff constantly,
as the patients do not feel such apprehension when they are sure
of meeting people they know at the Clinic.
Finally, may I take the opportunity of thanking all the members
of your staff for their help and consideration, which has assisted me very
greatly during the past year.
I have the honour Sir, to remain,
Your obedient Servant,

REPORT ON THE TUBERCULOSIS DENTAL CLINIC (PERIOD
18-10-22—31-12-22 AND YEAR 1923.)
The Medical Officer of Health,
Borough of Poplar,
Sir,
The Tuberculosis Dental Clinic held its first session on October 18th,
1922, and I propose therefore, to deal with the period from then till the
end of that year, before dealing with the year 1923.
1922:
The figures for the period 18-10-22—31-12-22, are as follows:—
Attendances | New Patients | Sessions | Extractions | Fillings | Scalings |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
34 | 24 | 12 | 49 | 11 | 20 |
Though not too gratifying, these figures show a certain amount of work
done for a beginning, and every hope was entertained of a rapid growth
in the year following:—
1923:
The figures for the year being as follows:—
Attendances | New Patients | Sessions | Extractions | Fillings | Scalings |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
80 | 62 | 49 | 300 | 81 | 60 |
