PAEDIATRIC CLINIC. — Dr. A. Russell, the Consultant Paediatrician,
resigned his appointment with the Ilford and Barking Hospital Management
Committee in November 1962 to take up another appointment elsewhere
and he consequently undertook his last fortnightly session at the Kenwood
Gardens Clinic on the 8th of that month. Efforts made by the staff of the
Hospital Management Committee and of the North-East Metropolitan
Regional Hospital Board to obtain a locum to continue our clinic were
unsuccessful and it was decided that the work involved should be absorbed
at the sessions held at King George Hospital by Dr. I. Anderson, Consultant
Paediatrician. Before the final arrangements for this were
completed, however, Dr. Russell agreed to continue to see at Queen
Elizabeth Hospital for Children, Hackney, some of the children who had
been under his care at our clinic and these cases were accordingly transferred
to that Hospital.
To reduce the waiting list and the waiting time for appointments,
Dr. Anderson has, since May 1963, been holding an additional weekly
session at King George Hospital.
During 1962, 18 sessions were held at the Kenwood Gardens Clinic
