PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES
This section deals with those services which come under
the control of the Barking Health Area Sub-Committee of the
Health Committee of the Essex County Council.
CLINIC PREMISES
Woodward Clinic (now known as the Julia Engwell Clinic)
During 1964 the re-building of this clinic continued, and the
spacious accommodation provided, e.g. several consulting rooms,
minor ailment rooms, sick-room cleansing unit, double dental
suite, double chiropody suite, plus facilities for the teaching of
Health Education, has been a source of great satisfaction. It is
hoped that with the expansion of the services this clinic, or perhaps
I should say Health Centre, will be in use, morning, afternoon
and evening, and so be used to the maximum of its capacity.
These new premises were actually occupied on 17.11.64 and
the an enities provided are greatly appreciated both by patients
and staff.
(See Plate 2)
Upney Clinic
Our services in this part of the town have been greatly
hampered by inadequate space. As a temporary measure we have
the use of part of a pre-constructed building and though we have
the right to occupy these premises till 1969, it is hoped that long
before that year our new Upney Clinic will be in use.
Blake Avenue Nursery
The building of this Nursery was commenced during the year
and we hope to take possession of the completed building sometime
during the early part of 1965.
Central Clinic
This Clinic is hopelessly inadequate for the amount of 'traffic'
it deals with. Our original plan for an extension will require to be
altered and a much more ambitious scheme envisaged, either a
much larger clinic to be rebuilt on the same site, or even on a new
more suitable site, in the vicinity.
