Dental Clinic. In January the Council considered my report on the suggested
tion of the Dental Clinic at 35, Stepney Green. Previously there was an
agreement between the Council and the British Dental Hospital.
The Council decided to give notice of the termination of this agreement
and to take the necessary steps to make the Dental Clinic entirely a Council
concern.
The agreement terminated on 24th June, 1934, the equipment was
purchased from the British Dental Hospital and Mr. F. R. Payne, L.D.S., was
appointed to the part-time post of Dental Surgeon to the Council.
The clinic will be run at a slight saving of expenditure and is now under
the complete control of the Council.
