COMMENTS ON ANNUAL FIGURES
The number of interviews show an all round increase in the work of the Clinic.
This is most marked in the Psyohiatric 6ocial Worker's interviews, as there was no
Psychiatric Social Worker during 1957. The value of Miss Sykes' contribution to the
Clinic cannot be indicated by the number of interviews and visits as her presence on the
staff means that all staff can concentrate on their own particular contribution to the
assessment and treatment of cases.
Referrals from the Children's Department and cases reported to the Court showed
an increase over 1957 figures.
Figures showing more cases open and fewer cases closed indicate that more cases
have been actively treated during the year, and reflects one result of the overall increase
in staffing during 1958.

The total number of new cases seen at these clinics are 309 and of these 298 were

obtain a report on his work in the Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic in 1958.
