(2) MATERNITY AND CHILD WELFARE.
No changes have taken place either in the policy or personnel
of the Clinics under the control of the Council. From
the tables included in this section it will be observed that the
facilities offered are fully made use of.
The local hospitals willingly co-operate in cases requiring
hospital treatment, while the Dental, Orthopaedic and Rheumatism
Clinics, provided by the Education Committee for the
treatment of elementary school children, are all open to cases
referred to them by the Maternity and Child Welfare Clinics.
The Rheumatism Clinic, under the charge of Dr. Gerald Slot,
is particularly valuable for securing hospital treatment where
such is found to be necessary.
