The number of patients under treatment in my clinics at the end of 1966
was 97, and the number of treatments given during the year was 1,632. 176
patients had been treated of whom 127 were boys and 49 were girls. During the
year, 79 patients were discharged, these figures being made up as follows:-
Speech normal 59
Non-attendance 6
No further progress likely 7
Transferred to other areas 2
Left school 2
Discharged at parents' request 3
Total 79
I was very pleased to be able to have my own treatment room at the new
Annie Prendergast Clinic, after being very kindly accommodated at Furze Infants'
School from January to October 1966.
Children within the infant school age group continue to form the highest
percentage of patients. This is consistent with the fact that this age group is
usually the optimum age for the treatment of speech disorders.
