Clinics.
There are now two School Clinics, viz., North Clinic,
Station Road, opened in 1928, and South Clinic, Princes
Plain, opened in February, 1936. The extension of the
North Clinic building was completed in August, 1935, and
the increased accommodation thus afforded has remedied
the inconvenience of overcrowding which had for some
time hampered the work of the clinic.
The building of the new clinic at Princes Plain was
commenced in 1935, and in February, 1936, the services
began to function there. The benefit of a clinic more
easily accessible to the rapidly growing area at the
southern end of the Borough is becoming more apparent
week by week judging from the increased attendances.
At the present time the staff personnel is only adequate
to maintain at the South Clinic the following services
provided by the Local Authority:—
1. Special Medical Inspections (daily).
2. Minor Ailment Treatment Clinic (daily).
3. Dental Clinic (two sessions weekly).
4. Ante-natal Clinic (once a month).
5. Welfare Centre (two sessions weekly) transferred
from Raglan Road.
Items 1 to 4 are extensions of existing services
undertaken by the present staff.
The North Clinic at Station Road continues to provide
the following clinics:—
1. Special Medical Inspection Clinic (daily).
2. Minor Ailment Treatments Clinic (daily).
3. Eye Clinic (six sessions per month).
4. Orthopaedic Clinic (two sessions per month).
5. Massage and Remedial Exercises Clinic (four
sessions a week).
6. Ultra Violet Ray Clinic (two sessions a week).
