WORK OF THE SPECIAL CLINICS
TREATMENT OF MINOR AILMENTS.

INSPECTION CLINIC.
An Inspection Clinic was held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Fridays throughout most of the year.
The total attendances were 2,580 as compared with 2,152 in
1938. 30 Tuesday sessions were held; 21 Wednesday sessions, and
55 Friday sessions.
The average attendance per session was 24.0.
EYE CLINIC
37 sessions were held, and on all of these the Surgeon put in
an extra half-session, making three instead of two hours. The
average attendance over the sessions was 31.7, which compares
with 28.8 last year, and shows that the extra sessions are necessary.
The work done during the year is summarised below:—
I.W.C. S.M.S. County
Attendances by new cases 17 85 33
Attendances by other cases 71 761 205
Total attendances 88 846 238

on the fact of the children being at school. To overcome this
