X-Ray Service
It is necessary for all members of the staff of the Corporation
whose duties bring them into contact with children to
have an X-ray examination of the chest on their appointment and
thereafter annually. In this connection 299 examinations were
carried out in 1960.
For detailed figures see appendices, pages 132-136.
MASS RADIOGRAPHY
I am also indebted to the Medical Director of the Surrey
Area of the South-West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board Mass
Radiography Service for the following particulars of persons examined
and of abnormalities found in the Croydon C. B. area.
Only small localised surveys among factory groups were made during 1960
