CHIROPODY
The system of using the services of approved Chiropodists
working in their own surgeries was continued and attendances
rose steadily. Satisfactory reports on the premises and mode of
practice of all Chiropodists in the scheme were received from
the Corporation's visiting specialist. A few requests for
domiciliary treatment were made to the department, but finance
available was fully committed to the demands of those able to
visit a nearby practitioner.
The scheme covers elderly persons, expectant mothers and the
permanently handicapped.
