It is my pleasure to submit to you a report on the School Dental Services of the County for the past year. The staff of two Dental Officers and two Dental Attendants has remained the same as heretofore and it is gratifying to note that in view of the large number of Public Dental Officers who are leaving the service for the more remunerative positions in private piactice, your staff has not, at the present time, suggested for- saking this priority and, if I may say so, important work. Your established Clinics in the County now amount to five, the one at Builth Wells being the last to be opened; each is fitted with modern equipment other than the one at Builth v hich only has a pump chair, but I am hoping at some future date to install an electric engine and spittoon. •fill The,sman schools in the outlying parts of the County are still visited with portable equipment and indeed it has been f C)11C rei! of1 5;,8 years respond to treatment much bet- tei in the school which they attend and consequently a consider- the schoolsUn treatmen*t f°r these tots * still given in treatment for casuals, which seems to have be- is ffilen at h\°PWUr SmCe t,he13Nati0nal Health Service Scheme, WCC rf hf i 1]i1Co at Br.ynmawr, Ystradgynlais, Builth A ells, Cefn Coed and Brecon.
