AND AFTER-CARE
Chiropody Service
Our Chiropody Service is greatly appreciated, particularly by
the old folk, and during the year 11,219 attendances were made
We are very fortunate in having the services of a domiciliary
chiropodist who gives treatment in the patient's own home, and
also visits Mayesbrook Old People's Home to help the patients
there to avoid foot troubles. 2116 Home Treatments were given to
534 Home Bound old folk.
Chiropody treatment of school children is also done and 332
treatments were given.
