porary building in the grounds of the main building. With the move
of the chiropody service to the main building at Central Clinic, it was
possible to transfer the receptionist duties to the existing clerical staff
and thus dispense with the post of receptionist for the chiropody
service.
Dental Laboratory. This was held in a mainly wooden building
at the rear of Central Clinic and it was decided to transfer the service
to the more commodious and more permanent building vacated
by the chiropody service.
It was decided to use the former dental laboratory as a store for
sick room equipment, etc.
Medical Staff. It was decided that with the retirement of Dr.
A. E. Seligmann in the early summer a replacement for his post
would not be sought, thus reducing the number of A istant County
Medical Officers from six to five.
Infant Welfare Sessions. A survey was taken of infant welfare
attendances, and it was found that the demand only justified two
sessions per week instead of three at each clinic with the exception of
Woodward Clinic.
This reduction was introduced at Central, Porters Avenue,
Upney and Greatfields Clinics.
Sale of Welfare Foods, etc. Prior to the "appointed day"
nutrients, etc., were sold at Infant Welfare sessonis by part-time
assistants on the staff of the Borough Treasurer, and these arrangements
were continuing on an agency basis with the County Council
when the Ministry of Food passed over to local health 1 authorities the
responsibility of selling National Dried Milk, etc.
At the time of the review, part-time assistants 1 the staff of the
Borough Council were selling nutrients, welfare foods, etc., at each
infant welfare session plus Saturday mornings an each afternoon
session at Central Clinic. It was decided to terminate the agency
arrangements with the Borough Council and to arrange for existing
clerical staff to sell foods throughout the day at Central, Woodward
and Porters Avenue Clinics and at infant welfare sessions at Greatfields
and Upney Clinics.
