The general arrangements for hospital admissions, X-ray and
laboratory investigations, and surgical appliances were unchanged, but,
as Messrs. Pryor and Howard had discontinued the manufacture of
surgical footwear this branch was taken over by Mr. Philip Rowe,
of Leytonstone.
Attendance at the clinics is no longer at the excessive level of
past years but was most satisfactory except for temporary interference
by the influenza epidemic.
I wish to thank all those taking part in the running of these clinics
for their valuable help."
