Shortly after the end of the year covered by this report the Clinic was
transferred to the new and very much more spacious accommodation provided
in the new building. The new building is connected with the Welfare
Centre by a short covered passage.
The members of the Sutton Branch of the Voluntary Aid Detachment
continued, as they have done for so many years, to render invaluable assistance
in the good work of this Clinic.
I should like to take this opportunity to thank also the many voluntary
workers who have helped in the various activities of the Maternity and Child
Welfare Department.
Perusal of this report will show that the work continues to grow and the
voluntary assistance so generously given has made it possible to economise
in the direction of confining qualified officers to duties for the performance of
which their special qualifications are essential.
Otorrhœa Clinic.
The Otorrhcea Clinic is held at the Model Welfare Centre every morning,
Saturday included, from 10 to 11.
The Assistant Medical Officer of Health supervises generally the
work of this Clinic and she was formerly in medical charge of the children
attending.
During the year, however, it was decided to refer all children suffering
from Otorrhœa to the Queen's Hospital for medical advice, and they now
receive at our Clinic, from a Nurse attached to the Shoreditch and Bethnal
Green District Nursing Association, treatment recommended by the Consultant
at the Hospital.

Breast Feeding Clinic.
This Clinic has now been moved to specially designed quarters adjoining
the Light Clinic in the new building. As already explained there is a
corridor between the new building and the Welfare Centre.
