Council by the British Dental Hospital since 1927.
These services became so popular that six weekly sessions
were provided by the Council for this purpose.

will comprise the following number of sessions weeklys-
1. Nine Infant Welfare Sessions.
2. Three Ante ard Post Natal sessions.
3. Three Toddlers' Clinics
4. Two Diphtheria Inmunisation sessions.
5. Six Dental sessions.
6. Four Physiotherapy sessions.
7. The equivalent of 22 Foot Clinic sessions.
8. The medical supervision of three Day Nurseries.
The following numbers and designations of staff are also to
