8. That school teachers should be instructed to notify to
the Medical Officer of Health the occurrence of cases
of alleged or of suspected infectious disease, and to
furnish such other information as may reasonably be
required by the sanitary authority. That it should
further be obligatory on school teachers to carry out
the requirements of the Medical Officer of Health as
to the exclusion of suspected cases of infectious illness,
subject to an appeal to the Board of Education.
In view of the transference of schools to the
District Council under the new Education Act, I beg
leave to submit for your consideration the above
resolutions in reference to schools, passed by the
Incorporated Society of Medical Officers of Health.
Some of these powers you are already seeking in
the Bill now being promoted for the improvement of
Willesden.
