The first session was held at Park House Clinic on 4th July,
1938, and during the six months ended 31st December, 1938, the
Aural Surgeon had referred to him 89 children who made 169
attendances for examination and treatment.
In December, 1938, I reported to the Education Authority
that, with the rapidly accumulating number of old cases attending
for re-inspection and treatment plus the new cases on the waiting
list, it was becoming impossible to provide the necessary treatment
for all children in need of it and that in addition many children
requiring special forms of treatment, such as ionisation, should
attend at least once a fortnight. The Authority accepted my
suggestion that the Aural Clinic be held fortnightly instead of
monthly and approval of the Board of Education was sought to
this new arrangement.
Report by the Aural Consultant (Mr. C. R. Sandiford,
F.R.C.S.).
The inauguration of a special clinic for the treatment of diseases
of ear, nose and throat has disclosed a fact already well known—
the widespread incidence of and disability from these diseased
conditions in a Borough such as Leyton.
The following list gives particulars regarding the 89 children
examined and treated at the Aural Clinic.
