"In order that the good work done at school may continue, you should
place yourself under the care of a dental surgeon.
"Treatment can be obtained from any dental surgeon, of whom there
are several in Shoreditch, or at the Municipal Dental Hospital,
164, Kingsland Road, E. 2."
Reference was made in the last Annual Report to the decision of the
Council to transfer the Dental Hospital to the second floor of a building to
be erected on a vacant site at the rear of the Welfare Centre.
This building was commenced on 15th July, and the work was well
advanced by the end of the year. At the time of writing it is hoped that it
will be possible to begin work in the new premises some time during the
summer. The present accommodation is overcrowded and inadequate, and
the comfort of patients and staff alike should benefit greatly under the new
arrangement.
The following figures taken from memoranda prepared by the Borough Treasurer are of interest as showing changes that have taken place in the general financial position of the Hospital since the introduction of the new scale of charges on April 1st, 1931.
