Orthodontic Treatment.
Because of staffing limitations less time has been available
for this branch of work. In the existing emergency energies are
chiefly directed to the correction of the simpler irregularities;
those of a more complicated nature have often to remain untreated,
or in certain suitable cases have been referred to one or other of
the "teaching" Hospitals.
The establishment of a "special" department to deal with
such deformities is now urgently required and it is hoped that
when conditions improve some such project can receive active
consideration.
The number of sessions devoted to this work was 172 compared
with 157 last year.

Treatment of "Free-Place" Scholars.
As previously stated, all children in the Borough Secondary
and Technical Schools have now been included within the routine
scheme of treatment. Pupils previously attending Primary
Schools who enter certain non-maintained schools as "free-place"
scholars are, however, eligible for attendance at the School Dental
Clinic.
