aware of shoe sizes and the correct type of footwear that they should be wearing. I impress on
them to be measured for new footwear, because in many cases they are wearing shoes that are
too small for them. At the end of the summer term, the senior class were all given a pamphlet
on Foot Health, and advice on the care of their feet, when they left this school at the end of the
Summer Term to go to one that possibly may not have a similar Chiropody Service. About 315
children were seen during the year and about 35 required further treatment.
I would like to thank The Health and Welfare Department, The Brigadier and his Staff at the
Hostel, and Mr. Jarvis and his Secretary at the School,for their kindness,help, and co-operation
towards me, which had helped in the smooth running or this service and my pleasure in doing the
work."

Pads for Incontinent Persons
No charge is made for this service, which greatly helps not only the individual concerned,
but also the family and those providing nursing care.

Arrangements have been made with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets for items to be
laundered at their premises. A twice weekly collection and delivery service is operated by
Corporation transport.
Yellow Fever Vaccination
The Corporation continued to supply yellow fever vaccine to the designated centre at
Unilever House. As the Corporation is also the Port Health Authority for the Port of London
arrangements have also been made for distribution to the Shipping Federation Medical Centre at
King George V Dock and at Tilbury Dock. During the year 3098 (4460) doses of vaccine were
distributed.
