Orthopaedic Clinic.
Mr. H. G. Korvin, F.R.C.S., the Orthopaedic Surgeon, makes the
following report: —
"The clinics held weekly at Newbury Hall and fortnightly at
Mayesbrook Clinic ran smoothly throughout the year. The appointments
system is working well with comparatively little waiting time
for patients and staff.
Physiotherapy equipment was brought up to date during the year
by acquisition of a new lamp at Mayesbrook Clinic and some repairs.
At the Newbury Hall Clinic the lack of ventilation was felt less this
year owing to the exceptionally cool summer.
Operations were again carried out at East Ham Memorial Hospital
where there is no waiting list for children under twelve but a fairly
long one for those going to adults' wards.
X-ray examinations were done by the Ilford Isolation Hospital.
Appliances and footwear were mostly made by Messrs. Pryor and
Howard, whose fitter, Mr. Rogers, attends weekly at Newbury Hall.
At Mayesbrook Clinic several cases were seen which had been
referred for orthopaedic opinion by the newly opened Cerebral Palsy
Centre in Stevens Road, thus establishing co-operation between the
units.
I wish to thank all those taking part in the running of these Clinics
for their valuable help."
