ASTHMA CLINIC
The Asthma Clinic has continued to treat both the
asthmatic children and those with recurrent bronchitis
with success.
V'e have undertaken work from many of the Hospitals in
Central London, thus curtailing long bus and underground
journeys. This is of great benefit to these delicate child
ren since the fatigue of travelling often lessens the
value of the treatment given.
We have continued to keep the educational needs of
the children in view. As far as possible those with
approaching examinations have been treated after school.
Total attendances 1,940.
SCHOOL DENTAL SERVICE
The general lack of dental surgeons arid the uncertainty
as to the future of the school dental service as a
result of the proposed introduction of dental auxiliary
workers, are the factors that have influenced the School
Service greatly during 1955. In Ealing we have had two.
resignations of full-time dental officers, one to be
married and one to go into private practice. Neither of
these has been replaced by a full-time officer. The average
age of our full-time dental officers is 47. We have had a
number of applications from newly qualified dental surgeons
