SUTCLIFFE, L.D.S. * I have the honour to present to you a report on the School Dental Service for the year ending 31st December, 1965. The staff of two dental officers remains unchanged but one of the two dental surgery assistants, Miss D. Jones, resigned in November and Miss E. Abrahams was appointed on 1st December to fill the vacancy. Although there were three enquiries for details of the vacant post for a third dental officer, no applications were received. As in previous years, regular fixed clinics have been held at Brecon, Brynmawr, Builth Wells, Cefn Coed, Crick- howell and Ystradgynlais and additional sessions held following routine inspections of adjacent schools. The clinics at Hay and Tirabad have been visited for treatment following routine school inspections and additional sessions held to suit requirements. The old equipment, which was installed at Brynmawr in 1938 has been replaced by a modern unit, operating light, X-ray, turbine drill, dental cabinet and dental chair with additional seat incorporated for use when treating very small children. Both patient and operator will benefit from these changes in equipment. The old equipment, in- stalled at Ystradgynlais in 1938 has similarly been replaced to bring it up to the standard in Brynmawr mentioned above. In 1966 the same improvement will be carried out at Brecon. It will then be necessary to see what items of old equipment are still serviceable and how they can best be utilised in the minor clinics and certain schools where treatment is given in the medical inspection rooms. 16.3.65.. 21.12.6 19 23 14 18 6 — 8 18 — 1 2 2
