I would like to record my appreciation of the help
which Miss Golding gave so freely during her two years
attendance at this clinic.
Speech Therapy.
I am indebted to Miss Joan Pollitt, Chief Speech
Therapist to the Kent Education Committee for the following
report: —
It is hoped that it will not be too long before is is
possible to open a full-time clinic in the Bexleyheath district,
in addition to the part-time sessions already being given at
Wrotham Road. It has been possible during the year to
help the waiting list in Bexleyheath a little, by transferring
some cases, living adjacent to the Crayford and Sidcup
Clinics to those clinics. The Sidcup clinic opened during
the Autumn of 1953.
Closed Cases.
Thirty-five Bexleyheath cases have been closed during
the year. The following is an analysis of the reason for
closing these cases: —
Very satisfactory result.
Wrotham Road Clinic 13
Crayford Clinic 2
Some considerable improvement but no
further progress made for so long a
period that, with consent of all concerned,
case was closed.
Wrotham Road Clinic 1
Improved to the extent to which nature
of condition was likely to allow; patient
then left district.
