Courses and conferences
One dental officer attended a course on clinical work. The principal school
dental officer attended a course on administration, and the annual conference of
the British Dental Association.
Thanks to the staff
The improvement of the dental service cannot be achieved without the help
and advice of many of the Health Department staff. I would like to thank them for
their willing cooperation throughout the year.
