(c) In-patient Treatment.—By admission to the St. Nicholas
and St. Martin Orthopædic Hospital, Pyrford, Surrey,
or for cases needing only short periods of treatment to a
ward in the General Hospital, under the direct care of the
Orthopædic surgeon.
Full particulars of these special clinics are set out subsequently
in the School Medical Report for the year.
During the year 83 patients were seen under the maternity
and child welfare scheme, 180 under the school medical, and 57
under the tuberculosis scheme; and These made a total of 2,011
attendances. 9 patients were treated at Pyrford Orthopædic
Hospital and 11 in the wards of the Croydon General Hospital
under the Corporation Scheme.
10.—DENTAL TREATMENT—TUBERCULOUS PATIENTS.
Marked progress has been made in the dental treatment of
tubercular patients, this being in part provided at special sessions
held at the School dental clinic for patients not entitled to dental
treatment under the Insurance Act, and in part by the opening of
a treatment centre at Cheam Sanatorium, visited once a fortnight
by the Dental Surgeon, Mr. Senior. The results of treatment at
the Sanatorium have been particularly gratifying, the dental treatment
having in some cases been a clear factor in the improvement
of the patient's general condition.
