The Senior Dental Officer (Mr. Martin) reports as follows : “ Treatment has continued as previo\isly, two points only calling for comment. The first is that there has been a further drop in tlie number of cases referred for dental treatment under the Public Assistance Section. The second is that there has been a substantial fall in the number of ante-natal cases referred for dental treatment anrl sub.se- quently cancelled. The reason for this is that notification of cases re(|niring dental treatment have reached the Dental Department earlier in the pregnancy and therefore many fewer cases have had to l)c cancelled on acct)unt of the prox- imity of the confinement.
