Voluntary Workers.
As in previous years the Voluntary Workers have continued
to give their highly valued services. The Workers co.operate
with the Council's Officers in every way, and the tendency noted
for some to specialise in the services to which they become
attracted shows a keenness which adds to the efficiency of the
clinics generally. The Council have again recorded their appreciation
of the help they derive from the Voluntary Workers.
That the main function of the clinic health services is health
education and to act as a Bureau of Information, rather than
as a treatment centre, is shown by the fact that during the year
693 individual and personal letters were written to medical
colleagues relating to persons who were advised to consult their
own doctors or to have advice at a hospital.
