In the case of children moderately affected and requiring to
be kept under observation advice has been given as to general
hygiene, diet, the necessity for dental treatment, and for breathing
exercises, etc. Of the children referred for treatment 527 have
received operative treatment with marked beneficial results to their
general health.
Arrangements for the performance of these operations are in
force with four hospitals, viz., St. Mary's, Plaistow; Balaam
Street Children's Hospital; Queen Mary's Hospital, Stratford;
and East Ham Memorial Hospital.
Arrangements have been made to carry into effect the recommendation
of the Board of Education in regard to the visitation of
children after the operation.
