Nine sessions were held at four local factories, 2 for staff at a local hospital, and 10 at a local telephone exchange.
At these sessions 296 smears were taken.
In all, 4 "positive" cases requiring further investigation were found, of whom 2 were subsequently diagnosed as
cancer, and 2 are still under investigation.
I should once more like to express my gratitude to the Haringey Cancer Control Committee for their continued
help, by public meetings and publicity displays.
