Dental Workshop
The amount of work being undertaken has increased steadily
and the establishment was increased by a further technician during the
year, which also enabled us to take on a second Apprentice. This
workshop, which was built by the Council for the needs of Barking,
now undertakes the manufacture of dentures, orthodontic appliances
etc. for a large part of the County.
The following figures relate to the output of the workshop :—
No. of Dentures 362
Repairs to Dentures 53
No. of Orthodontic Appliances 650
Repairs to Orthodontic Appliances 48
No. of Inlays, etc. 39
Speech Therapy
Towards the end of the year you authorised the appointment of
a part-time Speech Therapist for two sessions per week. This has
enabled us to reduce the lengthening waiting list, and has also made
it possible for Mrs. A. Ling full-time Speech Therapist, to devote an
extra session to the children at Faircross Special School.
