A dispute involving Council manual workers, including drivers, prevented
the mobile health clinic from operating for a five week period during the autumn
and, for four weeks towards the end of the year, the clinic's working week was
reduced by half because of a shortage of medical officers. The clinic was also
closed for four separate weeks at intervals throughout the year so that routine
servicing and maintenance could be undertaken. Despite these interruptions to
the health survey programme, 2,624 persons were examined at the clinic during
1970.
