EYE CLINIC.
The work of this Clinic tends to increase and, as
in 1932, the waiting list has frequently exceeded one
hundred cases. In addition to the weekly routine
Clinics many extra sessions were held, and I am indebted
to Drs. C. Ive and F. A. Nelson for their efforts
in this direction.

DENTAL TREATMENT.
Considerable improvements have been effected in
the arrangements for the Dental Clinics. The Clinic
was removed during the year from the Minor Ailment
Treatment Centre at Quarry Hill, Grays, to more commodious
premises at the Grays U.D.C. Welfare Centre,
and for the first time the services of two surgeons have
been available for a complete year.
