I continued with one evening session per week at Mayesbrook
Clinic for mothers who find it difficult to attend during the day.

Dental radiographic facilities have continued to be available

Partial and full dentures were supplied whenever it was
necessary for a patient to have them, these being made at a local
dental laboratory."
