I am indebted to Miss Joan Pollitt, Senior Speech Therapist

dealt with within the County Speech Therapy Clinics during

closed during the year, and thirty-two will continue to attend
into 1964.
Of the thirty-four closed cases, twenty-one have been
dealt with at the Murchison Avenue Clinic, twelve at the
Woodside Road Clinic, and one at the Sidcup Clinic.

Twenty of the thirty-two children attending Bexley
Schools who will continue to attend in 1964 are being seen
at the Murchison Avenue Clinic, ten are being seen at the
Woodside Road Clinic, and two are being seen at the Sidcup
Clinic.
Fifty-nine children attending Bexley Schools were on
the waiting lists at the end of 1963, forty-one await appointments
at Woodside Road, and eight await appointments at
the Murchison Avenue Clinic.
Mrs. Rollo has continued to work at the Murchison
Avenue and Woodside Road Clinics; Miss Formby sees
