Economic Enquiry.
It is to be regretted that the formidable investigation enquiry sheets and the procedure in
connection with them, affecting parents seeking free treatment for their children at the centres, are
still in force.
As so large a proportion of the local community come within this category, it was hoped some
simpler means would have been instituted granting these people easier access to the centres for
treatment.
