    There has been an increase in the work done at The VVylde Clinic ])y the Physiotherapist. Many more minor orthopaedic cases are now referred to her either from the Hospital or General Medical Practitioners and they are dealt with. Good work continues to be done at the Ortlioptic Clinic at Huntley Mount Clinic. As well as our own cases we do orthop- tic work for the Hospital Service. Audiometry and the other special services have continued with the exception of speech therapy. There has been a vacancy for a whole time Speech Therapist during' the whole ol' the year. There has also been a vacancy for a whole time Dental Surg-eon. Plans have been drawn up and a site cliosen for a combined clinic in the Sunnybank district. When this is built a much needed want will be provided in this area. It is hoped that School Health Services will be available there. We continue to receive much help from the children’s private doctors who attend the children in their homes and also from the hospital staffs. There is close liaison with the hospitals and we have received much assistance which has been of g'reat bene- fit to the children. I would like to thank the Staff for their hard work which has made it possible to present such a satisfactory report. This is fully appreciated by me. To the Chairman and Members of the Committee I would again like to express my thanks for their encouragement of the work during the year. I am, Your obedient Servant, Principal School Medical Officer. 18th March, 1964.
