Maternity aud Child Welfare. 75
Arrangements have been made with the British Dental
Hospital and three dental practitioners in the Borough to carry
out the treatment on an agreed scale of fees. This includes the
provision of dentures for mothers.
Parents contribute towards the cost of the treatment
according to their means and an agreed scale of payment has been
drawn up by the Council.
During the year 49 cases received dental treatment. 45 of
these were expectant or nursing mothers, and four were children.
In December the Council decided to approach the London
County Council to see if arrangements could be made for the treatment,
as required, of children under five years of age not in attendance
at school at the School Treatment Centres in the Borough.
This arrangement was agreed to by the London County Council
in January, 1937, and is now in operation.
It is not anticipated that the cost of this service will exceed
£50 per annum.
