Some difficulty has been encountered on account
of shortage of staff, particularly at the Castle Green
Nursery. The scarcity of suitable staff, and in fact
of -all Nursing Staff, in these abnormal times is generally
recognised, but the best possible results have
been achieved under all the circumstances.
(3) ORTHOPAEDIC SERVICES.
Twelve Consultation sessions were held during
the year by Mr. A. M. A. Moore, your Specialist
Consultant.
The standard of treatment and the scope of your
schemes have been maintained satisfactorily, but there
has been a fall in the attendances for treatment, one
cause being the scarcity of qualified Physiotherapists.
You have established three such posts, but for some
months of the year 1944, only two physiotherapists
were employed, and this is the position at the time of
writing.
The official channel for the supply of candidates is
the Appointments Branch of the Ministry of Labour,
and your officers are in constant touch with the
Ministry, in an endeavour to fill the existing
vacancies.
