PAEDIATRIC CLINIC
The fortnightly clinic at the Town Hall has continued under
the clinical care of Dr. Elchon Hinden, Paediatrician to Whipps
Cross Hospital.
DENTAL CLINIC
Mr. G.P.L. Taylor submits the following report on the work
of the School Dental Service: -
"Once again staff changes have interfered with the smooth
running of the department. Although we have been able to do less
inspections at school than in 1963, we have been able to increase
the number of fillings done and the number of teeth saved. The
number of extractions of unsaveable teeth has also been reduced.
The employment of the Dental Auxiliary has proved a success.
Her work is very satisfactory and her manner with young children
excellent."
