SPASTIC CASES
CLINICS TO BE ESTABLISHED CRIPPLED CHILDREN SOCIETY Another development in the activities of the New Zealand Crippled Children Society has been made with the establishment of clinics at various centres in New Zealand for treatment of spastic cases under the care of the society’s branches. Advice to this effect has been received in Tarahaki from the secretary of the Dominion council of the society, Mr C. Meachen. This important step in the society’s work, said the secretary and welfare officer of the South Taranaki branch, Mr L. O. Hooker, Hawera, had cpme about as the result of negotiations among the council and medical authorities and brain specialists at Wellington. Mr Meachen supplied details of the clinics that would be available for the various branches and the times at which the brain specialists would be available for consultation at these centres.
The establishment of these clinics was only a forerunner fo great developments in this branch of the society’s activities, Mr Hooker said. This was the first time that the experience and knowledge of noted brain specialists had been made available to the society in this matter, and the cases would have the opportunity of the most skilled and modern treatment.
