to the Chest Clinic at 20, Katharine Street on 1st October,
1947.
Plans for the alteration of "C" block to accommodate a new
X-Ray plant, waiting room, dental surgery and laboratory have
been approved by the Ministry of Health, and the work will
shortly be put in hand. The X-Ray plant is expected to arrive
in March, and a Radiographer has been appointed to take charge
of it.
Dental Report.
Routine dental inspection and treatment for patients in the
above institution is carried out as early as their general condition
permits attendance at the surgery. In the acute stage attention
is confined to those whose dental condition causes discomfort, or
when treatment has been specially recommended by the Resident
Medical Superintendent.
Patients returning to their homes in Croydon before being
rendered dentally fit received appointments to attend Lodge
Road Clinic at a later date for the necessary work to be completed.
