G. SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS We have received every help and consideration from Medical Specialists on whose assistance we call not infrequently. I am particularly indebted to Dr. Gwyn Griffith and Dr. E. G. Gerald Roberts, Consulting Paediatricians, for their readiness to carry out investigations and to discuss findings with us. Electro-encephalographic investigations are now being carried out at the North Wales Hospital. The procedure is painless but children in situations of this kind are often tense, and we appreciate the careful preparations which are made for their reception and the kindly attention which they receive. The numbers examined have not been large but findings have been of the greatest help in some instances.
