Civil Defence Depot, built on the site of the Woodward
Clinic which was blitzed during the war, may

in the different localities of the town the demand
will be even greater than it is today.
The number of treatments given at this clinic during
the year shows a substantial increase over that for 1944.
This increase was due to the extra sessions held and the
special effort made to reduce the waiting list which was
just under 2,000 at the beginning of the year.
Your arrangements for evening sessions continue.
