Mobile Radiography Unit.
The Mobile Chest Radiography service for general practitioners
has proved to be a great convenience to the local doctors and their
patients and good use has been made of the service. The Unit operates
outside the Municipal Offices every Monday evening from 5.45 p.m.
to 6.45 p.m. Patients are X'Rayed expeditously and the Unit can
readily cover the demand.
Prospective Council employees who have not proof of recent
Chest X'Ray are referred to the Unit, and the report can be of
considerable help in assessing their fitness for employment. During
the year 29 employees were examined prior to inclusion in Sickness
and Superannuation Schemes.
In addition, the Unit is available to members of the public who
can visit during the time stated without any prior appointment.
