WELL WOMEN'S CLINICS
Attendance at these Clinics was at a similar level to the previous years and the statistics
follow a similar pattern. In September a start was made to recall women seen 4 years previously;
28 were called, 24 came, 1 was seen by her general practitioner, 2 had moved away, and only
1 did not reply. However, many more are returning earlier at their own request, as shown by the
numbers who had previous cytology. Most of these are found to be healthy and where a minor
condition was found and treated, this has not recurred.
Only 3 cases of malignancy were found in 1970. Their ages ranged from 30 to 51; one had
had no children, the others 5 and 6 respectively; one had a cervical erosion, the others appeared
clinically normal. All were referred to appropriate hospital specialists through their general
practitioners, and are being followed up.
