THE SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
for the
Year ending 31st December, 1936,
on the
HEALTH OF PATIENTS ATTENDING THE MIDDLESEX
COUNTY COUNCIL OCCUPATION CENTRE FOR
MENTALLY DEFECTIVES, BULLER ROAD, WILLESDEN.
During the year the Council continued at the request of the Middlesex County Council to carry
out the following:—
1. Medical inspection annually of every patient attending the Centre.
2. The Medical inspection of every patient admitted within at least one month after
admission.
3. The treatment available at the Willesden Health Centres to be available and provided
if required for patients attending the occupation centre.
The Middlesex County Council is charged at the rate of 2s. per inspection and 3s. per attendance
at the Health Centres. This latter charge does not include the provision of surgical instruments,
spectacles, nutritive foods or hospital treatment.
During the year 19 patients were medically inspected, 8 patients attended the Health Centres
for treatment, the total number of attendances being 37.
The following table shows the number of defects found at medical inspection to require
treatment and the number of these which were treated at the Health Centres:—

In addition seven patients not referred for treatment attended the Health Centre and received
treatment. Five received dental treatment (dentures being provided in one case) and in the
remaining two cases treatment was given for Impetigo and injuries to eye and hand respectively.
Early in 1937, the Centre amalgamated with the Occupation Centre at Hendon and the
Middlesex County Council gave notice that as a result the above arrangement would cease to operate.
