'Three Score Club Chiropody Clinic
At the end of 1969 there were 42 patients receiving treatment at the above clinic.
Three quarters of the patients are over 70 years of age and in need of regular treatment.
Each patient on average, had treatment once a month and this was greatly appreciated. Two of
the patients are diabetics and advice was given on general foot care and types of shoes to wear.
I feel that this service, particularly for the elderly, is now an essential feature of community
care."
