(Leyton Health Area Sub - Committee)
SECTION 21 - HEALTH CLINICS
The Sub-Committee have no health centres as such; however, there are three
excellent health services clinics serving the borough:-
Dawlish Road Clinic;
Granleigh Road Clinic" and
Leyton Green Clinic.
During 1961 it has been possible to complete the phased programme of complete
redecoration of the Health Services Clinics in the area and part of the modernisations
of the clinic premises needed to meet changing demands on accommodation.
1961 was a year in which this work has been carried out at Dawlish Road Clinic
where we have had erected two interviewing cubicles in the waiting hall so that mothers
and other members of the public may have privacy in their discussions and interviews
with members of the staff.
At Park House Clinic a new perambulator shed has been erected on the right-hand
side of the main entrance to the clinic and the old shed which spoilt the aesthetic
look of the premises has been demolished.
