The type and number of eye defects referred from Routine Medical Inspections
at School reflect the value of the latter in this respect alone.

ENURESIS CLINIC
I am grateful to Dr. Margaret White for the following report:-
During 1969, 289 children attended the three Enuresis Clinics in the
London Borough of Croydon. This was ten more than in 1968. The numbers
were up at both the New Addington and Purley Clinics, and slightly down
at Lodge Road Clinic.

SCHOOL EYE CLINICS
I am grateful to Dr. Derek Clarke for the following report:-
The School Eye Clinics at Purley, Sanderstead and New Addington are
held regularly for examination and treatment of children from infancy to
school leaving age, and receive referrals from general practitioners and
Local Authority Staff. Statistics are shown on page 63.
When necessary (e.g. cases requiring surgical treatment) children can
be referred onwards from the School Eye Clinics to the Hospital Eye Service,
and in many cases the treatment is shared.
The number of boys attending
was, as always, about double the number of girls.
