the men's clinic. It would be necessary in this case to have separate
clinics for male and female patients--the same rooms would not be
available for both sexes.

The majority of witnesses asked were of opinion that if a lady doctor
were made available for the treatment of women the number of women
attending would increase.

continue treatment for several months.

The clinics should be more widely advertised by notices in public
conveniences and other suitable places.

The Committee are impressed with the valuable work done at these
clinics, and recommend their extension to other centres as opportunity
offers and necessity is shown to exist.
