Clinic Premises
Linked with a possible dental health campaign are the
facilities to be provided by the new Clinic at Waddon. Unfortunately
building delays did not allow its completion during
1962.
Authority was received for the replacement of the temporary
clinics in the New Addington area and this scheme is now going
forward.
Health Education
The Health Education Officer reports on continued progress in
the schools. A new development was a combined Education and
Health Department Study Day for Head Teachers and Heads of
Science Departments, on the subject of "Smoking and Health".
My thanks are due to the Chief Education Officer, members of
his central office staff, Head Teachers and their staffs, who
have met our many requests with courtesy and co-operation.
Finally, as always, you have by your support and encouragement
ensured that all worth while innovations are made available
without delay, for all the children in your schools.
