The clinics are used for the treatment of minor ailments and in
addition for consultation purposes where children attend at the request
of the parents or of the teachers or for either the more detailed examination
or follow-up examination of a particular child seen at a routine inspection
in school.
Ophthalmic Clinics
Sessions are held at the Honeypot Lane Clinic on Thursday mornings,
Marlborough Hill Clinic on Wednesday mornings and Thursday afternoons,
and at the Alexandra Avenue Clinic on Thursday mornings.
Children with defective vision found at routine inspections are referred
for examination by ophthalmic surgeons who are on the staff of the
Regional Hospital Board. Arrangements are made to keep these children
under careful periodic review. In addition, facilities for orthoptic treatment
are available at the Marlborough Hill Clinic.
Speech Clinics
Speech clinics are provided at Marlborough Hill Clinic, where two
whole-time speech therapists are engaged. Cases are referred by school
medical officers and by the teachers. In addition, the therapists visit the
schools to discuss with and give advice to teaching staff on cases with
minor degrees of speech defect. Therapy sessions are now being held in
some of the peripheral clinics. This cuts down travelling distances and is
welcomed by parents.
Child Guidance Centre
At the County Council's Child Guidance Centre at 82 Gayton Road,
Harrow, the child guidance team consisting of psychiatrist, educational
psychologist, psychiatric social workers and psycho-therapists, provide a
service giving advice and treatment to children whose education is suffering
as a result of some form of emotional difficulty.
Dental Treatment
This service is under the administration of the Area Dental Officer
Mr. A. G. Brown. Treatment is available for school children, children
under 5 and expectant and nursing mothers at 7 centres:—
