I During the latter part of 1937, new Orthopaedic Chnics were opened at Clay Cross, Staveley and Bolsover with half-day sessions. %' These chnics will cut down the number of cases seen at Chesterfield, which was getting very congested. In the statistics for the chnics, ^ the figures relating to attendances at these chnics are given, but ft it must be understood that they refer to part of the year only. A* The majority of the patients attending at them have been trans- ^ ferred from other chnics and only cases attending for the first 9 time have been included in the number of cases treated. H The clinic figmes as a whole show a slight fall in the number ^ of tubercular cases treated. This is largely accounted for by the « fact that cases of glandular and abdominal tuberculosis now go to * the Dispensaries for treatment. The number of new tubercular cases treated shows a rise of over 100 on the year. Every clinic, ^ with the exception of Chesterfield and Shirebrook, both of which fl lost some of their cases to the new clmics, shows an increase in the number of cases treated. The total attendances have increased from 7,538 to 8,044. , TABLE B. V. Attendances at Orthopaedic Clinics. (a) Tubercular Cases. Situation of Lesion. d 0 0 U Bolsover. Chesterfield. Chinley.
