of children:—5,000 inspections at 5 and 6 years; 5,000 reinspections at
7 and 8; 5,200 fully treated at the dental clinics.
(6).—Cost of Dental Scheme for 1926.—In addition to the total cost of
£1,070 (i.e., excluding £100 capital expenditure in 1924) of
the scheme continued from 1924, the following additional gross
cost would be involved by the developments for 1925: A capital
charge of about £300 in equipping a new dental clinic and an additional
maintenance cost during the year of £800. The total gross amount spent
on the dental service in 1925 by both Committees would be £2,170 (£1,950
to Education Committee and £220 to Public Health Committee). One
half of these sums would be repayable by the Treasury. The details are
as follows :—
