WELL-WOMEN CLINICS
Well-women clinics continued to be well attended. Towards the
end of the year due to the increased demand two further sessions were
started, one at Caryl Thomas Clinic and one at Northolt Road Clinic.
The increased demand was partly the result of the first recall, which
became due during the year, of those women who attended the mobile unit
in 1972.
