Eye Examination of Children Under Five Years.
Arrangement has been made for the above service to be
available at the County Council's school ophthalmic clinics.
The following pamphlet is issued to the parents of those
children who require this examination, which sets out the main
parts of the scheme.
"You are advised that your child should be examined by the
County Council Eye Specialist at the County Council School
Clinic, in accordance with the scheme of the County Council
and the Wembley Council.
NO CHARGE IS MADE FOR THIS EXAMINATION, the
Wembley Council having arranged payment to the County
Council.
If, however, your child should require glasses, these will
be provided at the County Clinic, and you will be required to
repay to the Wembley Council an appropriate percentage of the
cost—according to your economic circumstances. (The maximum
charge for glasses is 5/. per pair).
If glasses are advised for your child an Economic Circumstances
Form will be sent to you, and on your returning this
form to this Wembley Council Clinic, or to the Public Health
Department, Forty Avenue, Wembley, duly completed, notice
will be sent you of the amount, if any, you will be required to
pay.
If repairs to the glas'ses be required at any time this may
be arranged for you by the Wembley Public Health Department,
by applying to any one of the Borough Council's clinics. A
contribution towards the payment of repairs may be called for
from you—according to your economic circumstances. You will
be informed of this amount, if any, in due course by the Public
Health Department."
