SECTION lII.—TREATMENT CENTRES, SCHOOL DENTAL SERVICE. At the end of the period under review (31st March, 1934) the School Dental Service was in operation at 237 centres. Of these, 141 were main-treatment centres and 96 were sub-bases. The service has been extended to only two fresh districts during the year —viz., Epsom (Auckland) and Hawarden (North Canterbury)—but local extension in districts where the service was already operating

has been effected by the establishment of sub-base clinics at the following centres : Awakino, Bluff, Eastbourne, Glen Massey, Horahora, Inangahua Junction, Maketu, Ohai, Oturehua, Pukemiro, Pukehina, Porangahau, Raglan, Raetihi, Taylorville, Taneatua, Te Kauwhata, Tiraumea, Waiohau, Whangarei (additional centre), Whau Valley, Waimiha. The Mount Albert Clinic, which was formerly a main-treatment centre, is now operated as a sub-base.
