HOSPITAL TREATMENT.
Apart from the financial implications the change in administration
of the hospitals has made little difference to the treatment
of East Ham pupils. Cases requiring specialist services are
referred to an appropriate hospital and the provision of all forms
of treatment is thus maintained.
