Toddlers' Clinics
In view of the increased attendance at the welfare centres,
toddlers' clinics were re-established during the year. These clinics
are held for children between the ages of two and five and are
full routine examinations of the children. Any conditions requiring
observation or treatment are noted and the parents
advised. Further appointments are made as necessary.
The following table shows the work done during the year:—
| 2 to 3 yrs. | 3 to 4 yrs. | 4 to S yrs. | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 161 | 130 | 58 | 349 |
