(e) The Mentally Handicapped
It was noticed at a medical inspection that many were
in need of chiropodial attention. In view of the apprehension
natural in these persons it was decided that treatment should
be given in surroundings familiar to them and therefore the
chiropodist attends at Westmarsh Lodge and the Junior
Training Centre. It has been very rewarding for some of the
older patients were badly in need of treatment and the
subsequent improvement has been most marked. Even though
some of the younger children merely required only their nails
to be cut this was done because it was felt that it helped
to dispel apprehension by receiving "Treatment" that
could not possibly hurt. Some 200 treatments were given to
the Mentally Handicapped during the year.
