DENTAL SERVICES
Mrs. C. M. Lindsay, l.d.s., R.f.p.s.(Glasgow),
Principal Dental Officer.
We have at present our full complement of Dental Surgeons
and Attendants. This satisfactory situation is worthy of comment
in the light of the fact that surrounding Boroughs are much understaffed.
The Dental Surgeons have maintained their previous high
standard of quality and have increased the quantity of some
branches of treatment well in excess of last year, and of the
National average.
