PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICES
(LEYTON HEALTH AREA SUB-COMMITTEE)
SECTION 21 - HEALTH CLINICS
The Sub-Committee have no health centres as such, however, there are three excellent
combined treatment centres at Dawlish Road (1951), Granleigh Road (1935) and LeytonGreen
Road (1933)
During the year a new reception centre has been erected in the waiting hall at
Leyton Green Clinic thus releasing a room for an extension of the chiropody service.
The new reception opened in January i960, and many tributes have been paid to the
greatly improved direction and control of the public using the clinic.
Late in the year work was started in the new extension to Granleigh Road Clinic.
At the time of writing this is almost completed and ready for occupation™ This will undoubtedly
constitute improved facilities both for the public and the staff. This clinic,
in accordance with the new policy was completely redecorated during the year. Contemporary
decorative schemes were used and in general they have been well received.

In the same period 1,248 notifications were received under Section 203 Public
Health Act, 1936.
CHILD WELFARE CLINICS
A slight reduction in attendance occurred at Leyton Green and Granleigh Road
Clinics and in the same period the attendances at Dawlish Road Clinic increased.
Nine child welfare sessions are held each week. Three at Leyton Green, three at
Granleigh Road, two at Dawlish Road and one at Bnmanuel Hall, Hitcham Road.
It is interesting to record that 91.9% of babies born in 1959 attended child
welfare clinics in the area.
