for new cases only ; at the Branch Clinic by Dr. A. S. Hall-Craggs on Thursdays
from 2 to 4 p.m. for both new cases and re-visits.
After April they were taken over by myself and the days of the Manor
House clinics were as follows :—Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m.
for re-visits, and on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 12 noon for new cases. The
Branch Clinic day and time remained the same.
In September, 1934, the Branch Library was discontinued as a branch
clinic and temporary premises were hired at the Mission Hall in Allenby
Road. It was then decided to hold for the time being an hour's session from
11 a.m. to 12 noon on Tuesdays for new infants, preceded by an hour's session
for ante-natal cases.
