OPHTHALMIC CLINIC.
Dr. R, Jamieson succeeded Mr. J. Ayoub, P.R.C.S.,
as your Consulting Ophthalmic Specialist in March, and
continued to attend twice weekly at both Central and
Woodward Clinics.
Altogether three hundred and seventy-five new
cases were seen; spectacles were prescribed for
six hundred and ninety-seven children, and there were
total attendances of two thousand three hundred and
fifteen.
ORTHOPTIC CLINIC.
The Orthoptic Clinic continued under the
supervision of your Ophthalmic Specialist. One
hundred and forty-seven cases were given squint
training, and these cases made one thousand six
hundred and seventy-three attendances during the year.
ORTHOPAEDIC CLINIC.
Mr. A.M.A. Moore, F.R.C.S., your Consulting
Orthopaedic Surgeon, held nineteen sessions at which
one hundred and fifty-five children were seen.
So far as orthopaedic treatment was concerned,
there were times during the early part of the year
when we had one only physiotherapist, and although
the position improved at no time did we have our full
complement of staff.
One thousand and fifty five children received
treatment, of which four hundred and thirty-eight
attended for ultra-violet light, and during the year
the total attendances at the Orthopaedic Clinic were
eight thousand one hundred and twenty.
