Of course these figures do not represent the actual attendances
at the Clinic. Special treatment was carried out for
Teeth, Eyesight and Ringworm.
There is no arrangement at present for treating cases of
enlarged Tonsils and Adenoids; they are, however, referred to
the local hospitals. One hundred and thirty-two were treated,
and at the end of the year seventy were outstanding. In my
opinion some arrangement should l>e made either with the local
hospitals or with practitioners who are willing to undertake
these operations for the prompt treatment of these cases.
