Attendances - a count of the number of times children attended

the Clinic. these are attendances with one particular professional staff for screening/assessment/treatment, e.g. a child may see the paediatrician, psychologist and audiologist all during one clinic attendance. There will therefore be 3 'sessions' but only 1 'attendance'.

* Screening was routine from 10.5.1984. Before that time, it was carried out irregularly by Health Nurses or paediatricians as staff time permitted.

* figures are as at 1 April of the year.
