The Surrey Association for the Elderly had, prior to the 1st April,
1965 expressed a wish to limit their activities to 'new' Surrey at the
earliest date. Their co-operation in handling their part of the Indirect
Scheme during 1965 is appreciated as is their help in transferring their
arrangements into the direct administration of the Council with effect
from 1st April, 1966.
The two clinics run by the British Red Cross Society (Surrey Branch)
will be brought into the direct administration of the Council during
1966.
In every case the good-will and continued co-operation of the local
organisers and voluntary workers has been given in the best traditions
of voluntary service to the community and it is fitting that this report should
record this together with an appreciation of the support received from
chiropodists remployed in the scheme during the period under review.

The following statistical table indicates the level of work carried out between 1st April, 1965 and 31st December, 1965.
