Chiropody.
The demands on this service have continued to increase and in June, 1966, a new
Clinic opened at 219 Hammersmith Road. Most of the Clinics are restricted to the use of priority
classes which are:-
(1) Elderly persons, (2) Physically handicapped, and (3) Expectant mothers.
Only those Clinics which were in operation before 5.7.48 can accept non-priority persons
for treatment. During the year the service given to residents of Welfare Homes was integrated
with the service provided at Clinics.

18 chiropodists are employed, 6 full-time and 12 sessional, (including 2 Domiciliary

Domiciliary Chiropody.
This service is for house-bound persons, usually elderly, and is greatly appreciated.

and between them they gave 1584, (1828), domiciliary treatments in the year.
