The total attendances at the clinics during the past six years have been
as follows:—
1932 7,105 1935 9,682
1933 7,427 1936 11,329
1934 6,856 1937 12,502
It will be noticed that there was again a rather large increase in the total
number of attendances in 1937 compared with the figure for 1936. This increase
amounts to 10 per cent. It is encouraging that the services available in this
way appear to be appreciated.
