resulted. In addition Mrs. Montgomery retired at the end of July from Hammersmith Dental
Centre creating an additional loss of six sessions per week and Mr. A. Davis-Evans retired on

Staff (on 31.12.65)
(a) Dental Officers
1 Chief Dental Officer
1 Full-Time Dental Officer
4 Part-Time Dental Officers
The sessions worked by these Officers are approximately equivalent to three full-time
Officers.
(b) Dental Surgery Assistants.
We have an establishment of six Dental Surgery Assistants. Fulham - Mrs. Bowden,
Parsons Green-Miss N. Highley, St. Dunstans - Miss C. Lavel, Hammersmith - Mrs. Robertson,
North Hammersmith - Miss Morgan and Mrs. O.J. Junor - on maternity leave.
(c) Ancillaries
Auxiliary:- Establishment for one, not yet appointed owing to the difficulty of providing a
twin surgery clinic suitably equipped. The usefulness of Auxiliaries would naturally be much
greater if they could be allowed to carry out prescribed treatment without direct and immediate
supervision.
