C(8). Consultations with local Medical Practitioners.
It is pleasing to again record that the relationship between
officers of the Health Department and private practitoners is
characterised by mutual trust and respect. Practitioners invite
the opinion of the Medical Officer of Health in connection with
the diagnosis of Infectious Diseases, and by such action greatly
facilitate the work of the department. It has been the policy
of the department to encourage such a course in every way.
As the Medical Officer of Health is also the School Medical
Officer complete co-ordination with the Education Department
is assured, while after-supervision either by the family doctor
or the School Medical Officer is encouraged in every way.
C(9). Ear, Nose and Throat.
The arrangement made in 1930 by the Education Committee
with the Royal Waterloo Hospital to undertake the operative
treatment of Tonsils and Adenoids in the school children
continues to function satisfactorily.
The Health Committee re-appointed Mr. F. C. W. Capps,
F.R.C.S., of St. Bartholomews Hospital, as Consulting Aural
Surgeon. This appointment is renewable annually and a retaining
fee is paid. The services of Mr. Capps are available for
his opinion, and for operations on patients in the Sanatorium,
as required.
