ENURESIS CLINIC
The number of children attending the enuresis clinics was
much the same as in the past few years: 182 this year (176 and
183 in the two previous years). The percentage of boys to girls
stayed as before with over twice as many boys as girls. There
was an increase in the number of electric buzzers which reduced
the waiting list for these machines to two or three weeks, and
there was consequently an increase in the number of children
able to avail themselves of this efficient method of cure.
The age groups of those attending was as follows:-
Age:- 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
Numbers
Attending:- 2 2 34 25 30 24 13 16 9 10 5 5 5 2
The largest number in any age group being 34 children who were
five years old at their first attendance. 60 of the children who
attended had been treated previously by the general practitioner
or hospital (59 last year). 4 children were considered not suitable
for treatment and referred for consultant treatment.
Number of children who attended in 1962:- 182
(126 boys, 56 girls):
