the Kent County Council at Maidstone, but on more than
one occasion these facilities have not been equal to those

Clinics and Centres.
The School Clinic, Station Road, was opened in
1928, and makes provision for the following treatments
and services, details of which are dealt with in the
Maternity and Child Welfare and School Medical sections
of this report:
1. Minor ailment treatments.
2. Tonsil and Adenoid Clinic.
3. Eye Clinic.
4. Orthopedic Clinic.
5. Artificial Sunlight Clinic.
6. Dental Clinic.
7. Diphtheria Immunisation Clinic.
8. Ante-Natal Clinic.
9. Child Welfare Centre (Plaistow Area).
Welfare Centres are provided for the areas of:—
1. Bromley Common.
2. Burnt Ash
3. Plaistow.
4. Shortlands.
5. Widmore.
During the past year each centre was held weekly,
with the exception of Burnt Ash where two sessions
were held weekly. Full particulars of each centre
appear under Section III., Maternity and Child Welfare,
of this Report. It is to be noted here that an additional
session is now in operation at Bromley Common centre
as from 1st April, 1933. This has done much to ease
the congestion at this centre, but has not solved the
problem of a clinic in easy access to the increasing
population in the Southborough district and the
southernmost portion of the Borough.
Extension of the weighing room at the School Clinic
has become desirable to avoid crowding and difficulty
of working at this centre, and it is hoped that this matter
will be remedied at an early date.
