end of the year 178 persons were on the register at the Centre.
This number could be increased considerably if more accommodation
could be made available there. Plans for extending the
Centre, however, are still in abeyance.
Holidays
Holidays for the physically handicapped were provided in
three ways during 1969. The largest section was catered for by
taking over the Little Oyster Holiday Camp for a week. This
provided accommodation for 75 handicapped persons and for 25
helpers. A further 46 handicapped persons were provided with
holidays arranged through various voluntary organisations catering
for specialised handicaps, and the Council also assisted
financially 10 other handicapped persons who made private
arrangements for holidays.
Residential Care for the Physically Handicapped
At the end of the year 13 physically handicapped persons
were accommodated in Residential Accommodation provided by
the Council, and in addition 16 handicapped persons were in
accommodation provided on behalf of the Council by voluntary
organisations.
