Your Remedial Gymnast, Mr. Ogle, continues to attend the
Faircross Special School to treat the physically handicapped children,
and now spends an additional four sessions per week on this work.
I hope during the coming year to give him opportunity to take a
greater interest in the normal P.T. instruction in ordinary schools in
co-operation with the Advisors on Physical Education.
Skin Clinic
Dr. P. M. Deville, M.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., Consultant Dermatologist,
attends the Skin Clinic, Paget Ward, Barking Hospital, weekly.

In addition Dr. Adamson conducts a special clinic for the treatment
of plantar warts.

Child Guidance
The number of cases referred to Child Guidance Clinics this year
has risen to eleven as compared with five last year. I must reassure you
that these figures do not represent any increase in the numbers of
Barking children requiring this form of treatment and should warn
you to expect a further increase next year. The reason lies in the
fact that I have encouraged Medical Officers to refer such children
at the earliest stage possible so as to give the Child Guidance team
the best possible chance of righting the position.
