7.—ARRANGEMENTS FOR TREATMENT.
In July the Isleworth School Clinic, which for many years had been carried on in most
inadequate accommodation at the Public Hall, was transferred to Busch House, Busch Corner,
where a temporary scheme has been put into operation to deal with the work more satisfactorily
in the larger premises there at our disposal, pending the erection of a permanent Health Centre to
serve that developing district.
With the added accommodation, it has been possible also to provide a complete Dental Clinic
and to hold Eye Clinics there.
This has resulted in an appreciable saving to the people of Isleworth in not having to travel
the considerable distance to the Hounslow Centre as was previously the case. It is hoped that this
will result in better use being made of the Dental Clinic particularly by the Isleworth population,
as time goes on. The working conditions, even with the temporary scheme, are already much
better.
(a). Malnutrition.
Milk can now be supplied twice daily at school, free or at part cost, to children who have
been recommended for this on medical grounds. Further reference to this will be found on
page 24.
