    The policy for the year has been to greatly extend communication, liaison and co-operation among all who deal with problem children by holding regular meetings at the child guidance centre.

Grateful thanks are due to Mr P J Lee and the education department and Dr. R L Lindon and the medical department for all the help and encouragement the service has received
